Entrepreneurship in Action
Launched in 2017, the Harbor Freight EdCorps Initiative has brought the EdCorps experience (and support resources like e-commerce technology, toolkits, and personalized support) to dozens of skilled trades classrooms in public high schools around the country. With an emphasis on engineering, welding, construction, and advanced manufacturing, the cohort of student-run businesses empowers young people to develop hands-on skills and the entrepreneurial mindset at the same time.
