The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report for 2010 shows that in those regions where there has been an investment in enterprise education both in schools and universities there has been a corresponding increase in the level of entrepreneurial activity amongst young people.
Here at Aston University we integrate enterprise education through degree programme modules, the Business Game, careers and employability support, and the SPEED programme.
There is also a wider culture of entrepreneurial activity on campus through student society events with enterprise workshops and speakers, the Aston Idol awards, and Enterprise Fest.
Upon leaving Aston graduates also have the opportunity to receive dedicated support through the BSEEN programme.
Why Education matters?
On Thursday we will be exploring why education matters in an interview with Professor Mark Hart. We will also illustrate the ways in which students and graduates are supported through initiatives like Aston Idol and BSEEN.
Then this evening Aston students and alumni will come together for our High Impact event:
Expert Perspectives: Researching the market for your business
18:00, Aston's Cafe Bar and MB644, Aston University
In our latest Expert Perspectives event, market research specialists and Aston Business School alumni John Poole and Angie Lowe will share their experiences of establishing their own businesses and impart their knowledge on how best to research the market for your enterprise. More >
