Session Description

Recent data from the Deloitte 2023 Gen Z and Millennial Survey, indicate a rising interest in entrepreneurship among the younger generation, yet a significant disconnect persists between entrepreneurship and formal education.

Recognising entrepreneurship as a viable and valuable career path, starting at a young age, is crucial. By incorporating entrepreneurship into the curriculum, students would have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and resources needed to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape effectively.

Furthermore, entrepreneurship plays a vital role in cultivating a growth mindset, which has been shown to positively correlate with higher academic performance. Embracing entrepreneurship within the educational framework would equip students with invaluable fusion skills, including resilience, ambition and effective communication—attributes that hold immense value in both academic and professional contexts.
