Innovation and entrepreneurship education through experiential learning with the support of mentors … Shledon Levey
Zone learning @ Ryerson is entrepreneurship education through experiential learning (learn by doing). --- this is not co-op, not class room learning, it is not an apprenticeship (although that is closer).
According to a Kauffman (2013) report: Entrepreneurship education is the teaching of skills and the cultivation of talent that students need to start a business, identify opportunities, manage risk and to innovate during the course of their careers
Entrepreneurship education is not new (Harvard University was offering a course in “new enterprises” in 1947)
What is new is teaching it by experiential (doing) as opposed to objective learning with mentors from industry with experience.
Ryerson Goal: to see 10% of our graduates, graduate with their degree and a business
Entrepreneurship is one of the fastest growing subjects in today’s undergraduate curricula
In the US, over 400,000 students a year take courses in the subject
1/3 of the 1250 business incubators in the US are based at universities.
