THE YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM
The Youth Entrepreneurship Program (YEP) is made possible by the California Community College Chancellor’s Office, as well as the Napa Valley College in response to the demand for educating the next generation of entrepreneurs. The program is designed for high school and college students who want to explore the world of business. Students receive practical, hands-on training from business advisors and local business leaders.
Competitions and clinics are supported by local businesses and organizations, including the Napa Valley College Foundation, the Napa Valley College Business and Entrepreneurship Center (BEC), the Napa County Regional Occupational Program, the Napa Valley College Chancellor’s Office, and the Economic Workforce Development Program. Support from businesses include the Napa Chamber of Commerce, Rabobank, Umpqua Bank, Travis Credit Union, and Kiwanis (Division Eight).
