More and more students are interested in becoming entrepreneurs and starting businesses rather than going to work for established organizations. In a recent study by Girls with Impact, 63% of GenZers said they want to “personally create something innovative.” A growing number of colleges and organizations are responding to this trend by offering middle or high school summer programs focused on starting a business and entrepreneurship. The options are online or in-person, day or residential. All students, whether interested in the arts, STEM, community service, or business, are encouraged to attend one of these programs. Startups exist in every industry!
