The power of entrepreneurship education in a changing world. An overview of the phenomenon through a practical experience at Workforce BluePrint.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a powerful economic force for a country. The present report is aimed to give an overview of the importance of entrepreneurship education in a changing world starting with a theoretical approach. Then, it articulates around my personal internship experience at Workforce BluePrint. The latter recently appointed a new Entrepreneurship Facilitator Service for Western Adelaide, Switch Start Scale, providing a range of free services including: • Promoting and encouraging entrepreneurship among all individuals by providing information and advice about entrepreneurship and starting and running a business to clients, community organisations and other relevant stakeholders. • Providing tailored mentoring and assistance to individuals. • Linking and referring individuals to appropriate services that will help them start and run their own business. This unique start-up style internship was a great experience since I got closer to the entrepreneurship world and I was able to assist the company as well as I developed and improved many skills.
