Varsity encourages job creation

The Head of Academics of Skyline University College, Sharjah, Dr. Parag Sanghani, has enjoined students of business education to strive towards job creation.
Sanghani in a statement emphasized that business education was not to get jobs but to create them.
“Concepts like crowd funding, angel investors and venture capitalists are buzzwords in business school nowadays. Business schools have started special entrepreneurship development and incubation centers and created a special fund to encourage their students to start ventures,” the statement said.
He said business education not only encourages its students to think big and hatch ideas for new companies but also prepares them to manage startups.
With government support and special initiatives, according to him, business education providers are focusing on developing student entrepreneurs, saying, colleges and MBA programmes have spent millions on entrepreneurship education in the past decade.
