Abstract

US workforce economic health continues to deteriorate as contributing stresses mount. Entrepreneurship educators must more broadly define "entrepreneurship", creating new platforms better preparing society, not just students dreaming of starting something. Beyond entrepreneurship preparation of high school and university students, the task goes to non-traditional education of workers unable to retire and unprepared to finish life as self-employed "unintended entrepreneurs". The greatest challenge in educating a healthier, more entrepreneurial workforce is first creating awareness of the need. Entrepreneurship educators are best positioned to deliver the needed training, but first must create awareness of the need. If they don't, who will?. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
