The Entrepreneurship Institute
Entrepreneurship Institute
The Entrepreneurship Institute (EI) was launched by the School
of Business Administration at Oakland University in 2001 to provide
entrepreneurship education to economically disadvantaged teens. In just a few
years we have successfully provided this region with a variety of programming
options that have been made possible by a unique collaboration structure that
utilizes volunteer support of local entrepreneurs, business people, teachers,
administrators and Oakland University students who are members of Students in
Free Enterprise (SIFE).
This volunteer structure enables a rich support system for the
teens. Entrepreneurs and corporate professionals provide their time and talent
to mentor, to judge contests and to provide feedback on business plans and just
to serve as a “credible” ear to the passion and ambitions of these teens. This
unique approach also creates a learning opportunity for our own students who are
members of SIFE. These college students supply EI with instructional manpower to
help teach these teens. We are grateful for the time, talent of all of our
volunteers and the wonderful impact they have helped to create!
