Background:
Cabrillo College’s Business and Entrepreneurship Center (BEC) has been awarded a $150,000 grant from the
California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office to continue the Youth Entrepreneurship Program (YEP)
from January 10, 2012 through December 31, 2012. It is anticipated that the outcomes of this grant will be
realized through collaboration with Your Future Is Our Business, the Regional Occupational Program and the
entrepreneurship classes of regional high schools and community colleges.
The Youth Entrepreneurship Program is designed to foster the creation of small businesses and the
instruction of entrepreneurship and small business management to youth between the ages of 14 and 28. The
YEP program serves the 17 greater San Francisco Bay area Community Colleges and will be hosting
business plan competitions, entrepreneurial fairs and linking young entrepreneurs to a network of college
faculty and other advisors. The YEP program is a subsidiary of the Small Business Development Center’s
Business and Entrepreneurship Center.
Fiscal Impact:
An increase in the amount of $150,000 in revenue and expenditures.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Governing Board accept the $150,000 grant from the California Community
Colleges Chancellor's Office. It is further recommended that the Board authorize the Vice President of
Administrative Services to execute and make all necessary arrangements in relation to this grant agreement
and any future amendments on behalf of the college.
