Testimonials
Dr Colin Jones, University of Tasmania, Australia
“During the last two years I have had the pleasure to contribute to the SEE programme. I have the good fortune to work with educators and train the educator programmes throughout the world. Without doubt, my experiences at SEE have been the most enjoyable and rewarding thus far. The development of the SEE programme embodies world’s best practice in the field of entrepreneurship education. Current thinking in this domain is enthusiastically embraced and shared amongst the participants and the participants themselves are co-leaders of the programme. Entrepreneurship education in Scotland is heading in the right direction through encouraging programme directors and staff from non-business disciplines to engage in this form of educational development.
Carol and her team should be congratulated for the visionary approach they are taking to support the development of entrepreneurship education in Scotland”.
