The Wilson Community College Small Business Center (SBC) endeavors to serve all Wilson County prospective and existing small business owners by continuing to add programming to reach and engage all those who are interested in business ownership now or in the future. To that end, the Youth Entrepreneur Summer Camp will introduce youth attendees to entrepreneurship training through experiential and facilitated learning activities under the leadership of the SBC Director. This program is made possible in part due to a grant from recognized business leaders from the Wilson Chamber of Commerce’s Executive Academy Class of 2020.
Young people often express barriers to business ownership citing a lack of funds, entrepreneurial awareness, money management skills, limited networking opportunities, and customer service skills; the latter often due to a lack of work experience. Developing an entrepreneurial mindset in youth will move them through these barriers while encouraging practical action steps that can lead to emerging and inspired entrepreneurs.
