What is ACPA?
FOR YOUTH:
Entrepreneurial concepts need to be introduced to our young.
This workshop will take place at the Waldorf School in Austin, TX.
Our president has repeatedly said that the entrepreneurs are going to be the ones to heal our economy.
Though the bulk of our educational offerings are for adults, we offer a one-week
Pre-College workshop intensive in Entrepreneurial Arts Training. We want our young students to enter college, having been introduced to entrepreneurship as a possibility and an understood concept. We believe this knowledge will, hopefully, having a lasting impact on these young students, which will affect how they view their studies once at college.
