Did you know that eAcademy helps students prepare to be successful in business and in life?

We invite you to share the following information with students you know and encourage them to prepare for their futures with us!

The Venango Entrepreneurship Academy is currently accepting applications from local high school juniors and seniors to fill its Class of 2024. eAcademy meets Monday through Thursday on PennWest Clarion Venango Campus from September through May, 12:15PM to 2:05PM.

Throughout the year students will work on developing a growth mindset, meet local leaders, tour communities and businesses, learn to lead, and compete for prize money. Students will start the year learning about entrepreneurship in its various forms and by the end of the year will have a completed business plan for an idea of their choosing. The curriculum includes everything from the basics of business and entrepreneurship to career readiness to soft skill development to marketing to finances to networking and so much more.

Benefits of joining eAcademy include but are not limited to a laptop to keep upon graduation from the program, the chance to win a $1,000 scholarship, monthly field trips, Fridays off, the opportunity to earn college credits, access to technology like 3D printing, and meeting community leaders.
