Entrepreneur for a Day (E4D)

NIACC JPEC is creating a continuum of programs to provide the knowledge that young people in North Iowa can become job and business creators. In order to change the culture of North Iowa we need to start at a very early age to empower students to create their own economic vitality and wealth for others. The program that will begin in this cultural shift in North Iowa is Entrepreneur for a Day.

This 2 day class introduces students to entrepreneurship and provides them with the idea that they can become job creators. The first day they are taught what an entrepreneur is and what important resources an entrepreneur needs. The second day they put their business plan to action. E4D connects what classroom teachers are teaching with "real world" experiences. Students work in groups to build good character traits.

Teachers will walk away with resources they can use in their classroom before and after the E4D program. They will receive a Teachers Handbook that includes skills we teach in the E4D program, Student Journal, and an E4D schedule of the NIACC visit.

Schools that participate in E4D will automatically be signed up for the E4D Monthly Newsletter. This newsletter contains lesson ideas for every subject, upcoming events, and highlights star entrepreneurial teachers in Iowa.
