Entrepreneurship courses are seen as an important factor in encouraging business values
Courses to teach enterprise in schools is the most important priority to create more entrepreneurs in the UK, finds research.
According to a study of 500 business people by private bank Coutts & Co, 29 per cent of respondents cite entrepreneurship courses as the most important factor, followed by the creation of ‘entrepreneurial apprentices’ (28 per cent).
One in four entrepreneurs believes that the top driver to enable Britain to become more of an enterprise economy is to reduce business tax burden (25 per cent) followed by a reduction in regulation (24 per cent).
Managing Partner at Coutts Entrepreneurs Andrew Haigh says, ‘What's important is to get real life entrepreneurs and business owners together with school pupils and university students, so that setting up a business is seen as a valid career option.
‘Our own research shows that the top personal traits attributed to entrepreneurs’ success as business owners are perseverance and drive, passion and ambition.’
