I think running a small business needs exactly a Jack-of-all-trades - not just academic training is required.

It takes real experience of problem solving, customer interaction, supplier management, cash-flow understanding etc. on a daily basis to run a small business. The academic side underpins this, but it is not enough on its own.

I think a day release (yes, I am showing my age) type of arrangement could be just what is needed.

Of course, it would also be good if Entrepreneurship was taught in schools in an age-appropriate way, but that is a mountain to climb. Who would teach it?

Good to see this sort of initiative which is much needed.

This is on the message Skills for our businesses.
