This petition is to help make entrepreneurship a vocational course all around the UK.
Now we all know that small and medium-sized businesses are becoming a growing force in the UK economy, by bringing growth and innovation to the community in which the business is established. It has never been so easy to set up a business on so little money and with finance round every corner it could not be simpler than now in 2015.

An estimated staggering44 thousand startups launched in 2014 and the number is on the rise.
There is an increasing number of entrepreneurship courses all over the UK. However, none of these are vocational. In a few months over five and a half million 16 to 17 year-olds will received their GCSE results, and are trying to figure out their next steps in life.
The aim of this project is to provide programmes that promote learning about entrepreneurship within the tried and tested vocational training system.
Entrepreneurship is meant as a combination of mindsets and skills, therefore programmes and courses will be considered that address both aspects. The project focuses on the systems of formal education and training, and on teaching entrepreneurship to young people so that they can contribute to economic growth.
So please sign this online petition and lets change the education system together.
