1Berkshire To Hold Youth Entrepreneurship Session

1Berkshire

A Berkshire County economic development agency is holding an event to promote youth entrepreneurship on Tuesday.

The event is part of 1Berkshire’s Youth Leadership Program. Steering committee member Kathie Penna says the Startup and Entrepreneur session is intended to teach high schoolers about civic responsibility, long term commitments to the Berkshires, business, and career pathways.

“It kind of gives them an opportunity to explore our resources, leadership, issues and opportunities in the area,” said Penna.

The session will be held at the Norad Mill in North Adams, on Tuesday, December 3.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018, following stints at WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Western Massachusetts, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production. His free time is spent with his cat Harry, experimental electronic music, and exploring the woods.
