Springfield, MA, September 12, 2017 --(PR.com)-- NACCE & ELI to Offer Entrepreneurial Mindset
Training.

The National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), the nation's leading
organization focused on promoting entrepreneurship through community colleges, and the
Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative (ELI), have announced a partnership to provide a public
Entrepreneurial Mindset Certification program focused on igniting an entrepreneurial mindset and
cultivating an entrepreneurial culture in classrooms, organizations and communities throughout the world.

"An entrepreneurial mindset advances leader effectiveness, student success, and workforce development
outcomes," said NACCE President and CEO Rebecca Corbin, Ed.D. NACCE is proud to partner with
ELI to help spread the entrepreneurial mindset to our innovative group of community college members.

Beyond Traditional Business Creation

The power of entrepreneurial thinking reaches far beyond traditional business creation, said Gary
Schoeniger, author and internationally recognized thought leader in entrepreneurial education. Schoeniger
is the founder of the ELI and co-author of "Who Owns the Ice House? Eight Life Lessons from an
Unlikely Entrepreneur," a powerful story that captures the essence of an entrepreneurial mindset and the
unlimited opportunities it can provide. An entrepreneurial mindset shifts everyday thinking into a new
framework, empowering people to identify problems and deploy solutions using creative and critical
thinking, effective problem solving, communication, and teamwork. An entrepreneurial mindset exposes
opportunity, ignites ambition, and fosters innovation.

In addition to Entrepreneurial Mindset Certification Training, successful completion of the training

certifies participants to facilitate the Ice House Entrepreneurship Programs in their classroom,
organization or community. The training is designed to equip facilitators with the necessary tools and
techniques to effectively implement the Ice House programs, which target student success, leadership,
workforce development, and small business.

Ice House Programs are experiential, problem-based learning programs designed to inspire and engage
participants in the fundamental aspects of an entrepreneurial mindset. The next training will take place
October 6-8, 2017 at Hillsborough Community College (HCC) in Tampa Florida. The event is organized
by ELI and hosted by NACCE and HCC. Registration to open all sectors, including public, private and
non-profit. For more information, email info@elimindset.com.
