Springfield, MA, June 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- uwemp, an open-source media company, is partnering with the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship to provide NACCE’s members with a Web-based Entrepreneur Networking and Writing Program at both the student and curriculum levels. Through the program, uwemp will facilitate student-led interviews with experienced entrepreneurs that focus on key themes, while fostering the composition of engaging, useful articles on these interviews with specialized mentorship and guidance. A subset of student-written articles will be published at uwemp.com.
“There is a strong need in entrepreneurship education to develop students’ writing abilities so they can effectively convey their thoughts and ideas through the written word, both now and throughout their careers,” says NACCE Executive Director Heather Van Sickle. “We are very excited about partnering with uwemp to address this important need. They have created an experience in which students develop not only their writing and communication skills, but a framework to expand their networks and learn invaluable information from accomplished entrepreneurs.”
“As NACCE is at the forefront of entrepreneurship education, this partnership represents an ideal platform to put forth our Web-based, educational programming,” states Jordan Wolfe, founder and president of uwemp. “We are excited to work closely with NACCE at the national level to implement our curriculum-development initiatives, having jointly identified the clear need to offer forward-thinking, technology-based, practical classroom experiences within the field of entrepreneurship.”
“As the entrepreneurial landscape continues to rapidly evolve,” adds Wolfe, “students must be at the forefront of new concepts and technologies. We enable them to develop a best-in-class writing portfolio with professional mentorship, to interview fascinating individuals within fields of passionate interest, to build a loyal reader base within a dynamic publishing platform, and to earn academic credit.”
The Entrepreneur Networking and Writing Program represents the first of several key curriculum-building collaborations between NACCE and uwemp. For more information on this dynamic program, please contact Robert Rimm, uwemp’s director of Academic Affairs, at 248.541.2600 or robert@uwemp.com.
