USASBE’s Rural Entrepreneurship Education Certification is a program designed to introduce educators and economic developers to the expanding research and efforts to bolster rural ecosystems. With proper understanding, the rural context has rich opportunity to apply frameworks for constructing meaningful research, educational programs, and effective local programming. The Rural Entrepreneurship Education Certificate is an intense, immersive program designed to challenge entrepreneurship educators to see the rural context with a new appreciation for the complexity and opportunity inherent in comparatively isolated or depressed ecosystems. These ecosystems are unique and poised for renewed invigoration due to COVID-19 and the increased acceptance of online work.
Participants will leave the program able to relate entrepreneurial frameworks to diverse rural ecosystems in new and contextually appropriate ways, apply a toolkit to develop a model for their own embedded research, create a teaching case on a rural entrepreneur, and network with global researchers and educators in the context of rural entrepreneurship.
This program is aligned with a special issue of USASBE’s Entrepreneurship Education & Pedagogy on rural entrepreneurship education.
