In Tunisia, a curricular reform created an entrepreneurship track providing business training and coaching to help university students prepare a business plan.

Although business skills improved, effects on personality and entrepreneurial traits were mixed. The program nevertheless increased graduates’ aspirations toward the future. 2016-03-10T19:17:54Z 2016-03-10T19:17:54Z 2016-01 Journal Article World Development 0305-750X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23933 en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Elsevier Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Middle East and North Africa Tunisia
