@Shane -well articulated, your thought process is the same as mine. I think my issue lies within lack there off substantially targeted relevant resources. Too many out there, for young entrepreneurs to get there head around, not enough experience for them to find or be pointed to the direction of relevant and trustworthy resources.
Your two points are valid. 1) the educational system is an institution and reforming it would be death without significant research being presented to the DET or CEO to change their ways. 2) a business with relevant curriculum written and practical one-on- one mentoring would be ideal. You are right in saying that only a selected group of people would possibly be interested in such a program (if it was to go ahead) but if feel that it's the ones that have the interest who will succeed if placed in the right mind frame and exposed to the wider entrepreneurship environment. @Matthew - yes, i'm aware of other programs but from memory they only deal with 18-35 target ages not 14-18? (correct me if i'm wrong) Alas, young achievers doesn't exist anymore (quickly looked it up) Ahh, I just feel for these kids! They are at their technological prime, the environment is ripe and the are fearless. I just feel that their voices aren't being heard or taken seriously. (Teaching background comes through yet again) Once again, comments and views welcome. Aileen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
