Calls to foster entrepreneur skills

Waterford: The Government must take immediate steps to address deficits in the teaching of entrepreneurship to ensure the necessary skills are fostered in students of all ages, according to Cllr John Cummins, speaking at the inaugural awards ceremony for South-East Regional Authority’s (SERA) Generation Next entrepreneurship competition in Waterford.

The outcomes of a number of research studies conducted by SERA as part of its involvement in an EU part-funded Youth Entrepreneurship Strategies project were showcased. These included reports on third- level students’ attitudes to entrepreneurship and a mapping of entrepreneurship teaching at all levels of education.
