A shortage of jobs for graduates combined with a growing entrepreneurial culture is helping to create a new generation of 'go-getters' willing and eager to go into business, claims new research.
Almost a third of UK students claim the difficulty in getting a job after leaving university has prompted them to consider seriously the idea of working for themselves.
New research found that almost a quarter of students (23 per cent) are either already running or about to launch their own enterprise before they even leave full-time education.
A survey of students graduating in 2010 and 2011 has revealed a strong entrepreneurial spirit with almost one third (32%) claiming already to have a business idea and making plans to become entrepreneurs in the near future.
