Colloquy - 10 - A Symposium On Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is a growing area of interest for engineering and management institutes. With the new global economy, businesses and organizations are increasingly expecting their employees to have attitudes, skills and behaviours similar to those that characterize successful entrepreneurs. There is therefore a need and demand to help young people develop their skills and knowledge. The same skills will fabricate a new wave of job creators as opposed to job seekers that we see today.

The symposium is essentially organized to fill the gap in the current education system to cater for more entrepreneurship learning at an early age. It helps the students to inculcate the attitudes and skills required to be successful entrepreneurs.
