6-13 Year-Olds Will Learn Entrepreneurship at the #1 School
Sons and daughters of Babson College faculty and staff will spend part of their day at Babson learning how to compete “Apprentice”-style from College students on Wednesday, April 18th.
Babson Entrepreneurial Teaching Alliance (BETA) students will host “The Apprentice”-style interactive session on entrepreneurship for children between 6 and 13 years of age as part of Babson’s 5th annual Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
