Youth Entrepreneurship Camp – Opportunity for Arizona High School Students
THE FACTS:
Most Arizona high school student’s career path will lead them to starting their own business or working for a small entrepreneurial business (85% of AZ businesses have less than 100 employees). Yet, there are limited opportunities for them to gain knowledge in this area (Kauffman Foundation research reports that 54% want to start their own businesses but the lack of know-how is a key barrier).
