Student Entrepreneurship
HEART of Saguache/KV works with Mountain Valley School to create an entrepreneurship curriculum specifically for the students in our community. Community feedback indicated that many felt the students were not being given the tools they needed to advance and thrive beyond high school. With that in mind we have introduced entrepreneurship classes into both middle school and high school. HEART is bringing both innovative entrepreneurship classes as well as career exploration to Mountain Valley School as part of the curriculum. |
Each year, HEART hires a senior from Mountain Valley School to be a paid intern and work in the HEART office. The job application process is used as a learning experience. Seniors create a resume, fill out the job application and all are interviewed for the position. In the future HEART will be developing an internship program that will involve the entire senior year and connect them with local businesses. Our goal is to ensure that all students from Mountain Valley School have the best chance to suceed in the outside world.
