We Prepare You

Careers in entrepreneurship not only include starting one’s own organization, but also working for an established organization. Many times, when entrepreneurs work for another company they are referred to as an intrapreneur.  Intrapreneurs can be innovative and evaluate new ventures for organizations to help them stay ahead of their competitors. They know how to synthesize data and evaluate trends.

Intrapreneurs often become future company executive leaders. They know how to move the organization forward and rise to the top with a deep understanding of the organization from all levels. Their ingenuity allows companies to integrate new ideas for growth and the overall good of an entire company. Social intrapreneurs can create innovative approaches to solutions for businesses to measure the bottom line in light of financial, social, and environmental goals.
