Entrepreneurship is more than opening a new business. It's innovation and initiative. Entrepreneurs boast a spirit of commitment, creativity and self-motivation. They are excited to learn and earn and eager to create. From saving lives to shaping outcomes, societal challenges inspire entrepreneurs to develop answers. In doing so, they also develop a sense of fulfillment and reward. Entrepreneurship graduates from the A.J.
