ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION AND THE LIBRARY

Abstract

In this era of global economic meltdown and unemployment, entrepreneurship education becomes imperative. Entrepreneurship education, if acquired, enables a person to establish and run his own business. Owning and operating a business is a way of earning a living and becoming self-reliant. This is not without attendant risks, which may even lead to business failure. Acquiring necessary knowledge and skills will help any prospective entrepreneur withstand business risks or challenges. It is the view of this paper that the library has very important role to play in educating would-be entrepreneurs.
