Cultivating Entrepreneurial Skills for Career Mobility

Mar 5, 2025

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

Schools - do your students have the skills employers crave? Employers - are you screening for future-proof candidate skills? Join us and explore how entrepreneurial skills and experiential learning helps build evergreen career readiness like growth mindset, creativity, critical thinking and leadership. By combining innovation skill-building with immersive career exposure opportunities (i.e., internships), you can help close the opportunity gap for first-generation and other underrepresented students. We all have a role to play to improve the pipeline for untapped talent.
