Book Offers Roadmap to Restoring Jobs & Rebuilding Communities
RALEIGH, N.C. - AstroBug -- The National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) has published its second book, IMPACT ED: How Community College Entrepreneurship Creates Equity and Prosperity (John Hunt Publishing, 2020). The book is part of a series on transformational change entitled, Resetting Our Future: A Roadmap for Restoring Jobs & Rebuilding the Economy and is intended to help people think about resetting their communities and lives in response to the global pandemic.
Co-written by NACCE President and CEO Rebecca Corbin, and Hillsborough Community College Entrepreneurship faculty Andy Gold and Mary Beth Kerly, the book focuses on economic and social rebuilding strategies that can be deployed quickly and inclusively through existing college infrastructure and networks built on empathy and trust.
"IMPACT ED offers a roadmap to the future by providing leaders with shovel-ready projects focused on entrepreneurship education," said Corbin. "Deployed through local community colleges, these projects provide a path to recovery for communities economically damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic. Scaling these projects to 50 states and 50 nations will accelerate the formation of new businesses, create jobs, and up-skill the workforce. This pathway leads to hope, uplifting those impacted by the pandemic's devastation, especially marginalized groups."

"Impactful, and empathetic education is more critical today than in recent memory. The dynamic nature of education and society needs a compass to guide us toward a future that is unknown. This book provides rich direction on how entrepreneurship instruction provides a bridge between education today and the workforce skills of tomorrow."
