If we're serious about preparing students for the workplace in the future we need to begin their connection to work early on in their learning process. This means getting them connected to local businesses and organization so that they could see what goes on in what they need to be prepared for in terms of character qualities and basic skill sets and mindsets. This is especially true when we are driving to grow a new generation of entrepreneurs. They need to be in the workplace volunteering, interning, observing and interacting. Workplaces can be amazing incubators for learning and education in ways that isolated school buildings and classrooms could never afford.
