CEDE WORKSHOPS
Collaborating with your school, parish, or group, the CEDE team leads hands-on entrepreneurship workshops for your students. Designed to introduce teens to entrepreneurship rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, participants learn that entrepreneurship is not primarily about founding a business but about identifying opportunities to create value for themselves and others.
Participants will experience themself as an entrepreneur in the marketplace, innovating technology, risk taking, and making decisions using economic thinking.

in your life to serve others through the work you choose to do
CEDE workshops introduce teens to business concepts, the entrepreneurial mindset, and gives practical experience of how faith and work can and should be integrated in their life. After the CEDE workshop, teens will see themselves as principled entrepreneurs and virtuous leaders able to co-create with God.
Principled entrepreneurship requires a bias toward action.
Our workshops are structured around engaging, hands-on activities that help students to experience themselves as entrepreneurs. Activities and simulations create the context for robust debrief discussions where the facilitator uses the Socratic method to help students reflect on their experiences and connect what they learn about business, entrepreneurship, and economic principles to the examples of the activities.
CEDE Workshops can take place at the location of your choosing. Workshops are led by the CEDE team and can take place either on the campus of The Catholic University of America or be brought to your location.
