Ice House Entrepreneurship Program

The Ice House Entrepreneurship Program is designed to inspire and engage participants in the fundamental aspects of an entrepreneurial mindset as an essential life skill. The program draws upon eight fundamental concepts of entrepreneurial thought and process derived from the companion text, Who Owns the Ice House? Eight Life Lessons from an Unlikely Entrepreneur.

By the end of the program cohort participants will be able to:

• Establish and develop entrepreneurial attitudes, behaviors, and skills
• Understand and experience the entrepreneurial process
• Identify social and situational factors that encourage or inhibit entrepreneurial behavior
