Buffington Visual and Performing Arts Center; registration is required. "This event brings some of America's top young entrepreneurs to Chabot to spread the entrepreneurial mindset," said Business Instructor Jan Novak, event organizer and recipient of a 2011 Great Teacher Award. "The goal is to expose you to business ownership as a career path and also to energize and inform you about the entrepreneurial mindset regardless of career path," she said. "Speakers will discuss how to define a dream career, develop a pathway to that career and get started on your goals even with limited resources," Novak explained. This free half-day event includes three keynote addresses from young entrepreneurs, a workshop, a structured networking event, a discussion panel, prizes and free lunch. The event is sponsored by the Alameda County Small Business Development Center, the Business and Entrepreneurship Center and Chabot College's Entrepreneurship Program.
