Hi there,

While our online programming is extremely popular, more and more organizations have brought us to them for in-person events as the world emerged from the pandemic. Recently, our team enjoyed getting together with a variety of groups to expand their understanding and usage of entrepreneurial mindset concepts.

Here are just a few examples:

  • We delivered Entrepreneurial Mindset Certification Training (EMCT) to 221 lecturers from all 50 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) schools in South Africa
  • We designed and delivered a hybrid EMCT and added 33 new facilitators from across North Carolina to our list of over 3,500 certified professionals around the world
  • At the University of Utah, we held an immersive workshop for 20 professors from a variety of disciplines
  • We certified 13 faculty members from the Florida State College at Jacksonville via a private EMCT

If you are interested in having the ELI team design an impactful professional development event for you, you can schedule a call with an ELI team member below.

Walking Across the Bridge to High School with an Entrepreneurial Mindset

At Perry Middle School in Perry, Ohio, students’ transition to high school is marked by a unique ceremony: They walk across the bridge between the two buildings to symbolize their advancement from one learning environment to the next. 

The district of 1,800 students started implementing entrepreneurship courses at the high school level six years ago. A group of teachers and administrators soon realized that younger students could benefit from a similar program. 

“We talked about how powerful it would be for eighth-graders to establish an entrepreneurial mindset before they walk across the physical bridge where administrators meet them and pass the torch,” said Bill Sarvis, the teacher who developed the high school’s entrepreneurship program.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Betty Jo Malchesky introduced Sarvis and his colleagues to the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program Middle School Edition. She had learned about it from Gary Schoeniger, Founder and CEO of the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative. Five teachers and staff received training in the model at the end of 2018, and Sarvis and his colleagues designed the first exploratory course.

It is a book about how the mindset and actions of the good & reliable stands out from the average. It is a series of stories that reflect the good old values of how one carries oneself in life...This one's a classic."
