"When you look at the profile of these younger generations, the majority of them want to start a business,"Emmanuel Hernandez-Agosto, dean of St.
Petersburg College's College of Business, tells the St.
Petersburg Times.
"So, it's one of those things moving our economy."
The Florida college is offering two new bachelor's degree-level courses this fall designed to help "intrapreneurs"people who work part-time but still have traditional full-time jobs, Hernandez-Agosto says.
The other course, a Corporate Entrepreneurship Advanced Technical Certificate, will promote innovation among "intrapreneurs" who work in a traditional professional setting.
Hernandez-Agosto says the state provided a $100,000 Entrepreneurship Education and Training Grant to fund the new programs.
Gibbs High School in St.
Petersburg is also partnering with the college to create Titan Venture, a program that provides support, mentorship, and entrepreneurial programming for students who want to start their own small businesses.
Students can also earn up to 18 college credits for their business ideas and practical experience, reducing post-secondary costs and the time needed to complete a degree, Hernandez-Agosto says.
The dean says over 50% of millennials and Gen Z Read the Entire Article
