Tomorrow: Millennial TREP Tour Kicks Off in Atlanta

ATLANTA, Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is kicking off the Millennial Entrepreneurs Road Show tomorrow at The Atlanta University Center. The road show, which is a national tour of Minority Serving Institutions (MSI), will engage students and raise awareness about the possibilities of entrepreneurship, expose them to the available programs and resources and educate them on how to move from business idea to start-up.

SBA's Millennial Road Show is a part of SBA's "My Brother's Keeper Initiative", a Presidential priority to ensure that all young people have opportunities to improve their life outcomes and overcome barriers to success.  "As a graduate of an HBCU, I believe these institutions along with other MSIs, have a unique opportunity to cultivate the next wave of entrepreneurs," says Tameka Montgomery, SBA Associate Administrator for Entrepreneurial Development. "Millennials are the largest age demographic in history, however, they are challenged with escalating unemployment and underemployment, to help meet this challenge, SBA recognizes the need to encourage, educate and empower young entrepreneurs. That's the goal of the Millennial Entrepreneurs Road Show."
