Entrepreneurship (by itself) is not enough

Preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century
CLEVELAND / NORTHEAST OHIO
An illustrious entrepreneurial past 40+ years of decline Today, USA’s Best Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
CLEVELAND / NORTHEAST OHIO – AN ILLUSTRIOUS PAST
120 years ago, the entrepreneurial heart of America (John D. Rockefeller, Charles Brush, Harvey Firestone, Benjamin Goodrich & others) Cleveland, once the fifth largest city in the USA Once called “The Best Location in the Nation”
CLEVELAND / NORTHEAST OHIO – 40+ YEARS OF DECLINE
Recent generations seem to have forgotten the entrepreneurial lessons of their ancestors Largely ceased to innovate, instead waited for jobs to come to them & most never came Apparently forgot how our economy works & creates jobs – ceased to act on their historic entrepreneurial spirit
CLEVELAND / NORTHEAST OHIO – TODAY, USA’S BEST ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM
The key role of resource providers and innovation facilitators like JumpStart, BioEnterprise & Nortech
The critical importance of idea creators like the Cleveland Clinic, NASA & other research institutions
BUT, WHAT ABOUT TODAY’S STUDENTS…HOW DO THEY PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE CHALLENGING FUTURE THEY FACE?

WHAT STUDENTS CAN EXPECT IN THE FUTURE
What they can expect to see in their future: Driven by accelerating technological advancement, instant
communications, and the wants & needs of 7 billion people, every product, service & aspect of life will be reinvented during their lifetimes.
Driven by the rapidly growing economies of China, India, Brazil & others, the overall world economy will be vastly larger than it is today, creating great opportunities for those who are prepared to take advantage of it.
Consequence for them and their generation: 10 - 15 – 20 or more different jobs Potentially 3 – 4 totally different careers 3 out of 4 will likely start their own company someday
You be the judge – does the education today’s students receive prepare them for this future?
WHAT TODAY’S STUDENTS NEED TO DO TO PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE FUTURE!

Learn about the rest of the world. Understand the global economy so that they can take advantage by the opportunities presented by it.

AGAIN, LET’S LISTEN TO WHAT ANOTHER FORMER HUDSON “SEE” STUDENT HAS TO SAY:
Natalie Stadelman 2010 Hudson HS Graduate Miami U Business student 1st Place Bus Plan Winner Hudson Bus Club Founder
WHY THE SEE PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT TO STUDENTS:
Nobody else offers students & teachers what we do!
We go well beyond others to help students address the range of challenges & opportunities they will face in the future:
We explain how our economic system works We introduce students to the regional business community We explain the importance of entrepreneurship & innovation We introduce students to the real world through business plan
and science concept plan competitions We introduce students to the challenge & opportunity of the
global economy We engage students in discussion of important issues of the day We introduce students to the wide range of research &
innovation & economic development that exists in our region
WHY THE SEE PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT TO THE EDUCATION COMMUNITY:
We address the practical realities of the education community!
We provide instruction/content to meet student future challenges in areas in which many teachers don’t understand or are unaware of
Our “mini course of study”, “cafeteria style” approach addresses the reality that schools have little space in their curriculum for new programs.
The annually up-to-date content that we develop & compile provides teachers and students with a resource they can’t find elsewhere.
While the SEE program is available to all, it is especially targeted to the vast middle range of high schools that typically have few resources and programs of this type available to them.
The SEE program meets the financial literacy requirement in Ohio.
WHY THE SEE PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT TO THE EDUCATION COMMUNITY:
While available to all, the SEE program is especially targeted to the large middle range of high schools that usually have few resources & programs of this type available to them:
Programs such as E-City are available to help inner-city schools meet their special challenges.
On the other end of the spectrum, Northeast Ohio’s Independent Schools frequently have significant programs & resources available to them.
High School profile for 16 counties of NE Ohio: (Schools with at least 100 students)
# of inner city schools & students: 30 schools 25,730 students # of Independent schools & students 10 schools 4,514 students # of other high schools & students 244 schools 195,763 students Total number of schools & students 284 schools 216,957 students
WHY THE SEE PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY:
A critically important part of Northeast Ohio’s Entrepreneurial Ecosystem is the education of our youth
Our region needs a large cohort of 20 and 30 year old up-in-coming entrepreneurs to lead the economic redevelopment of our region. While this group has spurred economic development in other regions of the country, in the past those people have been largely lost to Northeast Ohio as a consequence of “brain drain”.
We need to plant the entrepreneurial seed in our students while they are still in high school, as well as introduce them to the entrepreneurial ecosystem that is developing in Northeast Ohio so that they are prepared and conditioned to return to Northeast Ohio after college.
WHY THE SEE PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT TO THE WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY:
Development and retention of talent in Northeast Ohio is critical to the future of this region, initiatives, however, need to begin in high school
If students don’t learn what is in the SEE program, they will be unprepared for their future.
It is much more effective to make students aware of all the opportunities that exist in Northeast Ohio while they are still in high school, then after they leave to go off to college, never to return.
Resources invested in the development and retention of high school talent before they leave for college would seem to make a whole lot more economic sense than resources invested in recruiting them to come back once they leave.

change they will face during their lifetimes
