Working Title: Teach Graduates how to Become Job Creators, Not Job Seekers.
Subject: Students should strive to be Job Creators and not Job Seekers.
Working Thesis: Upon the completion of high school, most students graduate with job seeking intentions in mind, as opposed to being job creators. The same intention persists even after they have advanced their education, and this is attributed to one problem: the pattern of education taught in classrooms is flawed. In contemporary society, the education model focuses primarily on teaching material that is viewed as essential for students to secure the job they want. There needs to be a shift in the education system whereby the focus is not solely on getting students ready for the job market, but building on students’ passions and talents, to help them become autonomous individuals once they have completed their formal education.

towards a re-focused research agenda. Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development, 17(4), 537-551.
This article aims to address the need for a re-focused agenda with regard to graduate entrepreneurship. The article emphasizes that for some years, an important theme has been to monitor intentions and attitudes of students towards starting up their own businesses. The article identifies three main outcomes. First, it establishes that a substantial minority of students constantly hold relatively strong start up intentions. Second, the article establishes that despite substantial efforts to increase the numbers moving to start-up, little impact is discernable. Third, the article suggests that the education system falls short when it comes to addressing critical questions regarding the impact of higher education on entrepreneurship and the shift from entrepreneurial intent to the act of venture creation. This article will aid the development of this paper as it provides an important positioning perspective between higher education and graduate entrepreneurship. It will also be useful in supporting the thesis of this paper as it establishes the need for a focus on the student journey from higher education to graduate entrepreneur.
