Find My Spark - The role universities play in supporting and enabling grassroots entrepreneurship

Do universities have a role in high school entrepreneur education?Entrepreneurship is more than a profession - it is a mindset. Primary and high schools are increasingly introducing young people to entrepreneur activities and entrepreneurial thinking.

How can universities better support the transition between graduation and higher education so that more young people are prepared to apply an entrepreneurial approach to future challenges?
