Entrepreneurship Education: A Solution to the Unemployment Problem

Unemployment is a situation in which a capable individual seeking job cannot find one. Lack of employment opportunities, unfavorable working conditions, lack of skill-based education, are few of the reasons that are causing unemployment. The unemployment rate in India is 8.3% at present, according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE).



 
A solution to the problem of unemployment can be Entrepreneurship Education.

Entrepreneurship is all about an individual’s tendency to take a risk and handle a business in a very dynamic and competitive world. Education on Entrepreneurship will create awareness and motivate youth to take business as a profession.

An entrepreneur is an individual who starts his/her own business based on an idea he/she has and bears most of the risk and reaps profit as a reward of his/her idea and business.

 An entrepreneur needs to possess these qualities:

 - He/ she must be a positive thinker

 - Not afraid to take risk

 - Enthusiastic, passionate, creative, self-discipline and persistent.

How Entrepreneurship Education can work as a solution to the unemployment problem?

1.    Entrepreneurship Education triggers students to think out of the box and bring up their eccentric talent and skill.

2.    It enables students to find out the opportunities, grab them and use them to produce something which leads to economic growth.

3.    Entrepreneurship Education develops the skills which prepare the students to think creatively, take the risk, search out the problem and solve it. And, whenever anyone solves the problem, they create opportunities for themselves and also help the society and country by creating jobs.

4.    Entrepreneurship Education's basic aim is to make a difference by solving the problem and meeting the needs of the people.

5.    Entrepreneurship Education can make lionhearted people which brings changes for the betterment.

6.    Entrepreneurship education encourages students to come up with their ideas and startups. Some schools and colleges are also working with venture capitalists and Angel investors to fund students’ startups. More startups create more employment opportunities.


Conclusion

India’s education system focuses more on theoretical concepts instead of practical concepts. They give importance to grades, good scores and degrees. It teaches us how to be an employee instead of teaching us how to create jobs. But, in real life, we need practical knowledge and Entrepreneurship Education prepares youth in a way they can deal with reality/real-life situations. It is very much needed to make students aware that entrepreneurship is a good career opportunity which not only makes them self-employed but also helps people in finding jobs which ultimately benefits the economy and the growth.
