Center for Entrepreneurship

According to U. S. News & World Report of January 19, 2006, future careers will be based on a candidate’s skills and abilities to do a specific job on a temporary basis.  No longer will graduates be able to enter the workforce with an assured vision of staying with a company for 40 years.  The focus is on individual entrepreneurship skills, and nowhere is this more needed than in the liberal arts setting.

Lake Erie College defines entrepreneurship as:

The process of starting a sustainable enterprise, for the sake of creating value recognized in the marketplace, while assuming the risks associated with changes in demand for the output of the enterprise.
           
The “Put Your Passion to Work” Entrepreneurship Initiative is a well-defined, results-driven program that will give Lake Erie College students the opportunity to meet the challenges of the 21st century, not only in their chosen work, but in their personal commitments to society as well.  Putting the necessary tools into the hands of our students will make an impact on the future, and be the driving forces that will expand the Entrepreneurship Initiative regionally beyond Lake Erie College. 

Please spend time acquainting yourself with our program, people and ways that we can support you as you put your passion to work.  We look forward to your comments and suggestions and thank you for visiting the Center for Entrepreneurship.
