Future Entrepreneurs Need Your Help !!!

Bloomsburg, PA - In Central PA, several industries have created the need for and rise in regional entrepreneurship including the Media, Natural Gas, Travel and Tourism, the Arts, Innovative Education and Information Technology among others.  These industry sectors provide students with career options within our region, helping to keep talent rooted in our communitites.  To ensure our young students are prepared to harness these opportunities, viaEd Technologies (Mark Burke, CEO) and BLaST IU17 (Williamsport, PA) have partnered to create an educational program dedicated to youth entrepreneurship called EYE, the Entrepreneurial Youth Experience.  This unique program is delivered online, allowing students within remote communities as well as urban areas to experience life as an entrepreneur.

Here's how you can help...Successful entrepreneurs learn from seasoned role models.  We are seeking volunteer coaches called "EYE Coaches".  EYE Coaches have the opportunity to shape our next generation of entrepreneurs by sharing as little as one hour of time and professional advice in an online presnetation.
