How training and mentoring can change the mindset of long term unemployed: Case Study of a Start-up Education Program in Western Australia

Abstract

Societies always welcome entrepreneurial initiatives as they are reported to have many benefits beyond their mere economic impact. Successful entrepreneurial ventures are known to have a positive impact by creating employment, changing market structures, and influencing consumer demands for products/services. Many societies aim to benefit from this path of innovation. Extant literature on start-up education has explored the impacts of different types of interventions to foster entrepreneurship.
