Lack Of Enterprising Youth
(UK) According to a new report from Enterprise Insight (a coalition founded by the UK's main business organisations in partnership with leading enterprise development organisation), in spite of the desire young people have to make their mark in the world, they are struggling to find the motivation to become entrepreneurs due to the lack of role models and out-dated societal notions that they need a 'steady job'.
'The language and icons of 1980s enterprise culture now mean as little to young people as a Rubik's Cube or shoulder pads,' said Kevin Steele, chief executive of Enterprise Insight, 'two decades after the last great enterprise boom of the mid-'80s we are still using the same entrepreneurs to promote enterprise in 2005.'
I'm looking forward to the second Make Your Mark Challenge: Enterprise Week 2005 which is intended to create the new role models for the future.
