St. Louis, MO. On Monday, October 2, St. Louis based We Care Worldwide unveils its Global Entrepreneur Training Institute. The company’s Fall 2007 Young Entrepreneur Training class consisting of young adults from 8 U.S. states, 4 countries, and 9 major institutions of higher learning. Each is attending on a Scholarship as part of a $90M donation by We Care Worldwide. Scholarships will be issued throughout 2007-2008.

Classes are conducted live across 4 countries through a multi media conferencing platform that supports interactive dialogue, quizzes, and other normal elements typically found in classrooms. Self-paced modules augment instructor-led sessions. Sessions are also available to students as podcasts. World-class experts in their area have come on board as Guest Faculty.

Students who complete the program will receive a certificate indicating that they have a working knowledge of, and application strategies for, skills that include: how to build and sustain a business in a 21st century global commerce environment; how to develop business-to-business collaborations and vertical integration of business models; how to guide and practice economic reciprocity; heightened problem-solving skills; effective business writing capability, including business plans; how to use Microsoft productivity tools; commitment to community service and development; and much more.

Steve Conley, CEO of We Care Worldwide says, “It’s about time adults stop complaining about our young people and start doing something to change things. Parents and other responsible family and community people have to think about whether to splurge on Play Station 3, expensive sneakers and electronic gear, or really invest in changing the mindset of today’s children. And we have to start training our children to do business in a networked way with people who do business with us in a respectful way. That’s what we’re doing here,”

Numerous experts in their field who have already achieved success in their respective areas augment the Institute’s faculty. Many will also serve as mentors, and provide support for micro-business development. Each is dedicated to supporting tomorrow’s young business leaders.
