Kathy Boyd joins us to discuss her initiatives to bring entrepreneurial attitudes and skills to the Orange County Department of Education and the students they serve. She has led an effort to bring an entrepreneurial mindset to classrooms across her county. In this discussion, we will chat about the importance of teaching every student to think like an entrepreneur. This is regardless of starting a business.
One such initiative is the Entrepreneurship Mindset Pathway Project. This project provides mentoring, networking, and resources to assist students, teachers, administrators, and parents from the OCDE ecosystem. This project infuses an entrepreneurial mindset across the breadth of disciplines and pathways.
