US Small Business Administration Supports Young Entrepreneurs
Welcome back!
The U.S. Small Business Administration supported the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) 2008 World Leadership Congress (WLC) at George Washington University. SBA is cosponsoring the business component for this year’s WLC student ambassadors, “Entrepreneurship: Igniting the Passion Within,” which highlights facets of youth entrepreneurship worldwide.
The entrepreneurship forum was attended by nearly 500 student ambassadors from around the world, taking part in a week-long educational program, July 25 to August 2, which focuses on key areas including business, government, international affairs, education, science and technology, and media. The forum explores key issues and opportunities for youth entrepreneurship and includes interactive panel discussions with successful young entrepreneurs to provide mentoring, guidance and experience.
“The SBA is privileged to participate for our third year with the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership as it celebrates 50 years of notable service,” said Acting Administrator Jovita Carranza. “HOBY recognizes the value of reaching out to students early, and SBA helps to nurture the entrepreneurial development in young people that provides positive resources that can impact their homes, schools and communities.”
