    Greetings from Chico, California.

     

    Allow me to introduce myself.  I am the founder and Executive Director of http://sageglobal.org, an entrepreneurship program that offers curriculum, mentoring, and competition to teenagers around the world. I am also an accouinting professor who specializes in helping teens start real businesses. I have two important things I'd like to share with you.

     

    First, we will be offering an Entrepreneurship Teacher Training Workshop at California State University, Chico on January 18-19, 2019.  The training course is designed for any teacher (e.g., CTE, DECA, FBLA) who wants to blend an entrepreneurship component into their courses. For details, go to http://sagetris.com.

     

    The new course, "Turning Risk into Success: An Entrepreneurship Program for Teens and Young Adults," is getting positive reviews. Sample lesson topics include:

     

    Brainstorming            

    Using Excel to Make Your Life Easier

    Design Thinking

    Doing Business Globally

    Personal Budgeting

    Crowdfunding

    Lean Canvas Business Plan

    Social Entrepreneurship

    Cash Management

    Intellectual Property

    Using Math to Make Business Decisions

    Pitching Your Business Idea

    Digital Marketing

    Running the Business

     

    Second, we want to start SAGE in your area. Check out http://sageglobal.org. Teens start businesses. They receive free mentoring from university students. And then they compete on a national stage, receiving free lodging and meals.

    Sincerely,
