Step-Up Venture University - Entrepreneurial Education for All

Online, April 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (Westwood, MA) - Step-Up Venture University is a not-for-profit organization that strives to provide entrepreneurs-to-be with the opportunity to gain exclusive knowledge and hands-on experience in entrepreneurial basics. Step-Up Venture University is committed to making a change in how business and life skills are taught to our children, as well as adults.

Step-Up VU launched in May 2009 and grew into a local phenomenon as it spread through various levels of educational hierarchy from schools to community colleges to universities by offering courses on essentials of business, self-improvement, and time and money management.

Classes are taught by Henry Shterenberg, successful entrepreneur and college professor, and supplemented with invaluable real life experience stories by guest speakers. Latest guests include Satish Patel (Analytix Solutions), Joshua Van Dyke and Andy Erickson (Jumpin' Juice and Java), and Sharman Cree (Sharper Web Solutions).

Raving reviews from recent graduates illustrate the great value and everlasting benefits of entrepreneurial education: "Step-Up is a great course! I love that I get the chance to take a course that expects a lot from me. A lot of times teenagers are overlooked, but Step-Up makes me feel like I count, I have a purpose, it's a great feeling. This course has taught me a lot of life lessons, I have learned a ton about business, but even more so I have learned things that will help me the rest of my life. I am extremely glad I had the opportunity to have this experience; it has taught me a lot about my self and what I am capable of. Step-Up is definitely a class that is worthwhile, even if in the end you decide entrepreneurship is not for you, you will find that through this course you have grown into a better, more prepared person."- Ailyn Pestana, Step-Up VU Graduate
