The first incubator for future entrepreneurs
To be successful, entrepreneurs need the right mindset and the right training from an early age. The CHCA Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Program teaches students to think like business leaders.
“At CHCA, we don’t just talk about entrepreneurship,” said program director Stephen Carter. “Our students go out of their way: from start-ups and marketing a product, to running a regular business on campus, and CHCA students take creative lessons and collaborate with real-world learning.
The reason for this approach is practical. The only way to prepare students for an uncertain future is to provide them with the skills they need to thrive in times of crisis and to encourage new ideas. In short, to help them think like entrepreneurs. That’s how we work in CHCA, ”said Carter.
What distinguishes the CHCA program is its additional focus on sustainability. Every student is immersed in the need to make decisions based on moral cleanness. This is reflected in the enduring experiences of their student-run businesses.
