Technically Philly: Growing Trend of Student Entrepreneurship Continues

In response to the present economy and lack of traditional jobs upon graduation, more students are turning toward entrepreneurial endeavors, creating their own startups and, in turn, careers they can continue after graduation.

With more colleges providing entrepreneurial programs for students, such as The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania’s undergraduate program, the University of Pennsylvania’s minor in engineering entrepreneurship and Drexel’s minor in entrepreneurship, along with competitions for students to launch their products, like PennApps, a student-run hackathon, students are increasing the opportunity to put their ideas in practice.
