Greg Malkin, director of YEI, offered his insights on the importance of introducing students to entrepreneurial thinking: “Entrepreneurship education and real-world experiences position a young person for success, whether they become an entrepreneur or not. Entrepreneurship teaches important life skills, including financial literacy and public speaking, but also stimulates a mindset that helps students to overcome adversity and take ownership of one’s decisions. The entrepreneurial mindset strengthens the resolve of young people no matter what they do later in life.”
