More and more professionals are turning to some form of entrepreneurship or self employment due to many factors:
Organizations are continuing to outsource functions that were once handled internally based on the economies that can be realized. The outsourced functions range from marketing, advertising and corporate communications to information technology, finance and human resources administration.
The recessionary environment has prompted organizations to shed themselves of full time employees, saving the cost of expensive benefit programs. However, many companies find in short order that they must still have key functions performed and turn to contractors, consultants, freelancers and partner organizations to support their on-going operations.
Colleges and universities are training graduates to be prepared for the ?new reality? of corporate life, helping students understand that today?s first job might be a contractual opportunity. As a result, students learn that it?s critical to learn entrepreneurial skills to survive in today?s corporate environment since the day of clear-cut career pathing is becoming more and more a thing of the past.
