Creso will lead a new Policy Research Project funded by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) entitled The State of Entrepreneurship Education in Ontario Postsecondary Education. With the support of graduate students Andrew Kretz and Kristjan Sigurdson, the project will provide a detailed assessment of educational programs in Ontario universities and colleges that purport to teach or support entrepreneurs. The results of this research will be published by HEQCO in the first half of 2014. For more information visit the Projects page.
