Learning outside the classroomAs part of Next Step Connections commitment to help the next generation of future leaders take their first steps into the professional world, comes the NSC high school Entrepreneur program (HEP). The HEP is an experiential and educational entrepreneurship program for outstanding high school students with a keen interest in entrepreneurship. The program is hosted by Next Step Connections at Donghua University.
The NSC young entrepreneur program offers an unique opportunity for high school students to develop entrepreneurial skills, business acumen and Chinese language abilities at an early age.
Goals of the programThe goals of the program are three-fold. First, to expose outstanding high school students to entrepreneurship principles, second, to teach students the best practices for leadership as well as how to manage innovation and grow a business, third, to learn about business practices, culture and etiquette in a foreign setting in China.
Not only does the Young Entrepreneur Program give high school students a competitive edge over their peers in college preparedness but it also gives them an invaluable educational experience in which they expand their knowledge of China and learn about the fundamentals of business, finance, and entrepreneurship.
Next Step Connections wants to inspire tomorrow's entrepreneur leaders. On the last day, the participants will formally present their business idea to a panel of Asian business leaders and investors. The presentation will be broadcased on business TV in Shanghai. Winners will be announced at the end of the program.
DatesTwo sessions will take place from July 2, to July 23, and from July 23, to August 13, 2011 on the campus of Donghua University.
