#BridgingTheGap: Business Education for Entrepreneurs

Is post-secondary education necessary for entrepreneurs? It seems like many of the industry’s great innovators might think otherwise. Steve Jobs (Apple), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Michael Dell (Dell), Evan Williams (Twitter) and Travis Kalanick (Uber) all share the same education journey -- one that ends in dropping out of school. Should aspiring entrepreneurs follow in the footsteps of these successful innovators? Or are there other ways to find success in the business world? This week on BridgingTheGap, Ollie Forsyth and John Fistolera will come together to discuss the best ways for youth to get started on their business career or entrepreneurial journey. Now an 18-year-old entrepreneur, as well as CEO of the Budding Entrepreneur Magazine, Ollie Forsyth left school at age 16 to pursue his entrepreneurial goals. John Fistolera on the other hand, is the Assistant Executive Director of Corporate and External Affairs at DECA, who works to improve business education in school.
