Springfield,
MA – March 10, 2013 – A one-day summit on the role of
entrepreneurship in workforce development will be held on Tuesday, April 2,
2013, at the Rancho Santiago Community College District Offices in Santa Ana,
CA, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event is one of six regional summits being
held around the country by the National Association for Community College
Entrepreneurship (NACCE), the nation’s leading organization focused on
promoting entrepreneurship through community colleges. California’s Economic
and Workforce Development’s Business and Entrepreneurship Center (BEC) Program
is sponsoring the California summit, providing free registration (including
lunch) for all participants.
"The summit will generate discussion on the
potential for community colleges, government agencies, community partners,
entrepreneurs, and other organizations to partner, spur innovation and job
creation in California, and leap-frog perceived barriers of decreased funding
and limited resources,” said Michael Roessler, statewide director of BEC program.
"We hope
community college trustees, presidents, faculty and staff, along with
entrepreneurs and other key stakeholders will join us for this important
session on how we can work together to support the growth of entrepreneurship
in our state through innovative entrepreneurship education programs.”
"Community colleges are where
entrepreneurship education and workforce development come together to drive
economic development,” said NACCE Executive Director Heather Van Sickle. "As
part of this summit, attendees will have the opportunity to network with other
entrepreneurially-minded colleagues, share best practices, and gain core skills
that enable them to implement the five action steps of NACCE’s Presidents for
Entrepreneurship Pledge. Through the pledge, over 180 community college
presidents across the country have committed to helping individuals and
families achieve their personal and business dreams.”
