economic policy that supports youth social entrepreneurship in a small developing
nation.
Introduction
As I stated in my earlier assignment, public policy can impact entrepreneurs heavily as
well as the economy. Implementing initiative to stimulate and promote economic
growth begins with our youth. If policymakers are able to engage youth and provide
them with a “step-up” in becoming an entrepreneur or innovator then that would help
the economy as well as their individual agenda in the future. I firmly believe that the
easiest and most effective way to accomplish this is through their education. Important
policies to incorporate through education include providing pathways within their
education, encouraging hands on training as well as courses, and increasing
opportunities + apprenticeships with CSR as well as business (with some government
involvement).
Policy Point #1: [Briefly describe your proposal]
Primarily I propose to incorporate pathways programs as well as clubs and
organizations that help introduce youth to the world of entrepreneurship and business.
These pathways will integrate within their courses and provide specifically designed
courses and curriculum that is orientated towards the field they desire to go into (in this
case entrepreneurship). With this, if students don’t prefer the pathways it is important
to have clubs and organizations such as DECA, which is a non-profit organization
dedicated to helping youth prepare for careers in financing/management marketing etc.
As far as how this will be funded, we can follow the structure of CTE programs. Though
these programs are not the same they have the same general idea. The CTE programs
are funded through The Perkins Act which is federal funding for high school programs.
The three main points of this act are the Basic State Grants distribute money to
highschools (as well as colleges and universities) that offer joint career and education
