Training the Unemployed for Entrepreneurship: Blending Personal and Business Development in Australia

Abstract

It is argued that most Australian training courses for unemployed people starting their own small business emphasise business development. An innovative course in the State of Queensland blends personal and business development together, using experiential techniques. Feedback during the course and several months afterwards suggest the course successfully achieves its objectives.
