 Preparing students to become successful entrepreneurs starts on college campuses. Many students have an enterprising spirit, but they will never turn their dreams into reality if they lack the resources or education.
Universities offering entrepreneurship programs and education can encourage students to turn their passions into businesses. Still not sure how they help? Here are five ways entrepreneurship programs and education benefits students.  Starting a company can be a confusing and stressful endeavor and knowing where to start can be the hardest part.
There are often some questions that aspiring entrepreneurs may have or some things they may not know. This article will cover some of the basic groundwork you need to know before starting your venture and also hopefully help alleviate some of the fears and stress you may have before diving into the world of entrepreneurship.  Do you know a student-driven tech-based startup? Do they have a desire to create a solution for a significant problem but may not know how to go about it? Please invite them to join us at the Tech Side Hustle 2023 info session to hear from staff and current program participants about EEC's Tech Side Hustle (TSH) program.
 EEC’s Tech Internship Program is launched, and we have a total of ten intern spots available. EEC will be matching companies and interns on a rolling basis and that process will continue into 2023 with ongoing Ohio Third Frontier support.
