According
to the 2015 Geoscape report, Hispanics in the U.S. are more likely to become
entrepreneurs. Unfortunately Hispanic
businesses are more likely to fail, or stop growing. Some of the factors that influence the
failure of Hispanic business are access to capital, lack of knowledge and
networking opportunities. On 2017 UTEP
will host the fourth annual Rookie Entrepreneur Program. The REP is a week long program with the
objective of providing high school students with the necessary foundations to
start up their own business. This program does not only provide the necessary
knowledge, but it also gives the students the opportunity to have a hands-on
experience.
The Rookie
Entrepreneur Program is a great way to get a head start on your career! The fourth annual Rookie Entrepreneur Program will be taking place on
July 17 – 22 of 2017.
More
information on this event will be released soon!
