ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION: THE FUTURE OF LEARNING, WORK & SOCIETY
Transforming Education to Drive Value, Influence & Profitability
In a world grappling with unemployment, displacement, and outdated learning systems, one solution stands out: Entrepreneurial Education.
Rooted in Tongston’s globally benchmarked Entrepreneurial-Thinking Education Model, our K–12 curriculum empowers students, educators, schools, and governments to learn differently, think independently, and lead innovatively.
What Is Entrepreneurial Education?
Entrepreneurial Education isn’t just about starting businesses. It’s about infusing entrepreneurial thinking across all disciplines and school systems—equipping learners with the skills, mindset, and behaviors to succeed in work and life.
At Tongston, we define Entrepreneurial Thinking as:
“The art of equipping people, institutions and governments to create value, influence others, and build sustainable, profitable solutions across any sector.”
Whether in government, private industry, or nonprofits, Entrepreneurial Education nurtures both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs—doers, problem-solvers, innovators, and value creators.
