What is the Paper About?
This paper explores whether entrepreneurial graduates are more likely to be in graduate level jobs after graduation. The results indicated that there was an increased likelihood that graduates with higher entrepreneurial attitudes would be employed in professional/ managerial roles. In particular, the ‘proactive disposition’ and ‘achievement motivation’ of students made a significant contribution to predicting an increased likelihood of being employed after graduation in a professional/ managerial role.
Why is it Important?
These findings are important because it shows that there is a link between entrepreneurialism and entrepreneurship and employability. This suggests that it is important for graduates to have entrepreneurial skills, not only for starting a business, but also for seeking professional/managerial jobs.
