The West Virginia Community and Technical College System is stepping up to provide a much-needed educational program in West Virginia: entrepreneurialism.
The CTC system announced last week it will be the first college system in the nation to wholly commit to cultivating entrepreneurial culture and mindsets in classrooms, campuses and communities throughout the state.
“This means developing the skills and mindset of an entrepreneur will become a core part of the community college experience in West Virginia, opening students up to new skills and opportunities as they prepare for their futures,” the organization said in a news release.
The effort is part of a new collaborative project with the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative supported by the Kauffman Foundation.
