description |
Being an island nation with few natural resources, Singapore has to rely extensively on
her human resources to survive in the competitive world today. As our economy
develops, there is a growing awareness to be self-reliant and the realisation that
overdependence on foreign investors is dangerous.
Our group sees the urgent need to expose young people to entrepreneurship and we
consider education as one important route in encouraging them to consider self
employment as a viable career option. In addition, our group advocates intrapreneurship
as a path leading to entrepreneurship as we understand that it is not feasible for all the
students to become entrepreneurs immediately upon graduation. Education and training
play major and important roles in the development of an entrepreneur.
The objective of our project is to examine the various entrepreneurship training
programs available at tertiary institutions in Singapore and to suggest new approaches to
entrepreneurship training. The various methods of researching for this project is
discussed below.
A review of literature was undertaken to explore the theory of entrepreneurship with
special reference to the issue of entrepreneur education in Singapore. In addition, field
studies were conducted to gather information on current entrepreneurship training
available at tertiary institutions in Singapore.
Interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs and academics to gather feedback and
comments on the current entrepreneurship training available. Suggestions of new approaches were documented. Future directions for entrepreneurship education were
also discussed.
Finally, we concluded our project by suggesting improvements in several areas relevant
to the local tertiary institutions. |
