For many years Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning has successfully utilised mentoring and peer learning as key elements for many of its programmes and activities that are directed specifically at nascent and novice entrepreneurs. Mentoring, of course, provides the opportunity for such novices to learn firsthand from seasoned and experienced entrepreneurial individuals. And, whilst we might all agree that entrepreneurship is not a solo activity, here at Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning we also have a firm belief that the learning for entrepreneurship should not be solo either and so we encourage collaborative learning, most often with diverse groups of peers.

The main topic on the economic agenda these days is ‘growth’ or how to attain growth’. Growth is held as the measure of success for both enterprise and the nation as a whole.
