ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Self-Employment

Whether it is a side-hustle as part of the Gig Economy or a full-time business venture, more and more young people are opting to pursue self-employment. Full-time entrepreneurship requires a solid business plan, a supportive network, determination, and funding. There are many entry points into running a business, but education is necessary to be successful. This may be gained from high school programs, independent learning (mentorship, research, etc.), or higher education.

Learning Options - High School

High school business courses and Emerald Campus programs such as the Dublin Business Academy and Entrepreneur Academy provide opportunities to learn more to prepare for running one's own enterprise.
