Students fear they lack skills to set up business

Many third-level students want to set up their own businesses after graduation, but college supports to do so might be lacking, a new study suggests.

While one-in-six have the strongest ambitions to start their own ventures in the future, barely half said their college encouraged entrepreneurial activities.

One-in-four did not think their college encouraged them, and one-in-five were not able to offer an opinion on the question.
