It's About Entrepreneurial Thinking
The Entrepreneurship Hub exists to educate, inspire and support students in developing the skills and mindset of an entrepreneur. We view entrepreneurship through the wider lens of entrepreneurial thinking — a highly versatile set of skills and a mindset that is necessary to solve wicked problems.
🧠 Mindsets: Core attitudes and beliefs that shape how individuals approach opportunities and challenges.
🛠️ Skills: Practiced abilities that equip entrepreneurs to drive impact and achieve goals.
