Summary:

This extensive curriculum introduces students to all the basic concepts of entrepreneurship and walks them through the process of developing a business plan for a new enterprise. Students learn how to assess business opportunities, develop marketing strategies, and evaluate different financing options. The curriculum is both inspirational and realistic; it helps train students to do the hard work of launching a viable venture but also helps them to recognize the challenges they will face.

Why  does FASTEN recommend this resource?

EDTEC has extensive experience in working with FBOs and small community nonprofits and have designed a “doable” curriculum. Moreover, throughout the curriculum, students gain skills through hands-on activities and practice. This means that even students who decide not to pursue entrepreneurial paths gain marketable skills for their own future vocations.
