Entrepreneurial spirit is growing across the United States. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 5.4 million new business applications were filed in 2021, a new record over 2020's 4.4 million applications.

Unfortunately, most schools don't have courses in entrepreneurship, so most students don't learn about being an entrepreneur until college or even when they decide to start their own company. With an ever-changing economic landscape, it's more important now than ever to teach students these skills before they leave the classroom behind.

In this episode, we're bringing in veteran teacher Jennifer Stubblefield to have talk about how she used her existing business courses to teach entrepreneurship skills. She also dives into the Entrepreneurship and Small Business (ESB) certification, what resources she leveraged to teach entrepreneurship, and how her students are using their entrepreneurship skills after graduating. You'll be inspired by these stories of success, trust us.
