National Entrepreneur’s Day is an annual event occurring on the third Tuesday of November (November 19) that honors people who have built an empire from absolutely nothing. Radical inventions by brilliant minds have shaped the way we live today, not to mention our future.
In an effort to develop youth entrepreneurship, Pittsylvania Education Association, (PEA), and DCC in partnership with Pittsylvania County Schools, is expanding Danville Community College’s Barkhouser Free Enterprise Small Business Idea Fair. The Fair is being expanded into the middle and high schools; this opportunity will provide short-term, non-credit business planning training to these students. Additionally, interested students would have an opportunity to study entrepreneurship and build a business through DCC’s Venture Creation & Management degree program.
This Idea Fair event is an entrepreneurship competition delivered in a trade show/science fair format. The event has been successfully operated for four years at DCC with strong annual participant growth. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Idea Fair for 2020 would be conducted in a virtual environment. More information to be shared during our PEA September membership meeting.
Note: Minorities and students of color are strongly encouraged to participate.
