If the recent events in the global economic downturn are teaching us anything it is that big time corporate greed, mismanagement, and arrogance brings out the worst in people- socially but also economically.
Basic sound business principles have been ignored in the euphoria of rising markets and a never ending supply of consumers. Until greed and arrogance caught up with the big players. Ottawa youth is looking at brining sound entrepreneurial and business resources, and case studies to the youth market. They are the future, and as MiLearn has seen over the last 9 years in working with high school, college and university students involved in online learning, online tools and resources- this generation of youth have what it takes.
In a recent trip of university campuses in the US (Vermont, Florida, Florida State) and Canada (Ottawa, Carleton, McGill, Bishops, Wilfrid Laurier), we have witnessed enterprising, mature, creative leaders of tomorrow. Ottawayouth.ca has been designed to be a student centric site in entrepreneurship- for youth by youth in the same vain as milearn has been a ‘what did you learn today’ web 2.0 source for students.
Check it out at ottawayouth.ca, and contribute your “what did you learn today? to us here at milearn.
