In the backdrop of increased interest of students in learning towards starting their own ventures, many colleges have taken various initiatives to promote an entrepreneurial culture and offer courses on entrepreneurship. However, only few corporate are willing to hire such talent.
According to a report released by HirePro — The New Reality In College Hiring, while 67 per cent of students are expressing their intention to start their own business within 10 years of graduation and only 5 per cent of corporate prefer to hire candidates with this ambitions.
The study revealed that 14 per cent of students plan to set on their entrepreneurial journey immediately after graduation, showcasing a readiness to dive into the business world.
“It’s worthwhile to note that 52 per cent of students plan to start up only after gaining anywhere between 2 to 10 years of regular job experience. They can add tremendous value to organisations during these years. Corporates can perhaps take solace in this fact, and focus on building a culture that embraces students’ entrepreneurial drive and creates an environment where they can prosper,” it stated.
