Encouraging young people to think in
entrepreneurial ways is relevant whether they chose to work for
themselves or others.
It’s about harnessing the confidence
and "can-do" attitude of the dynamo role model and encouraging
students to have a positive attitude to life and work.
Dynamo role models are ordinary people
who have done extraordinary things by believing in themselves and
their ideas.
Their stories touch upon so many areas
of the curriculum, personal and social development, as well as
lessons in business
What do they do?
- Encourage self-belief and positive thinking
- Inspire and motivate students to realise they are in
control of their future
- Educate about the reality of being their own boss: highs,
lows, risks and rewards
- Draw out entrepreneurial characteristics and encourage
students to reflect on their own behaviour
- Encourage entrepreneurial behaviour / thinking in
students
