WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT YBE
This is a unique learning experience that not a lot of other schools have to offer.

..Your education bringing in business helps them understand, “This matters in your real life. This is important. You can use what you’re learning today.”

We launched the program in the fall and it was so popular we had a waiting list.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, nearly “80 percent of would-be entrepreneurs in the United States are between the ages of 18 and 34.” A 2005 poll from Junior Achievement (JA) found that 68.6% of the teenagers interviewed wanted to become entrepreneurs, even though they knew that it would not be an easy path. In spite of this overwhelming interest, however, youth rarely receive any information about entrepreneurship as a career option. In addition, they stated: “Entrepreneurship education offers a solution. It seeks to prepare people, particularly youth, to be responsible, enterprising individuals who become entrepreneurs or entrepreneurial thinkers by immersing them in real life learning experiences where they can take risks, manage the results and learn from the outcomes.”
