The Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute (or ELI),  open to high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors interested in developing their business and entrepreneurial skills in Southern and Eastern Kentucky, will be held at The Center for Rural Development this week.

The program focuses on developing creativity, teamwork, business and leadership skills.  Students work in team to develop a business idea and present that idea to a panel of judges on the final day of the program for a chance to win college scholarship offers as the winning team in the Collegiate Business Concept Challenge.
