Abstract

It is against student financial and skills-related challenges that this chapter profiles income entrepreneurial enterprises imitated and managed by students at Howard College Campus, University of KwaZulu-Natal. Challenges faced by youth-students are exacerbated by lack of labour required skills, lack of employment opportunities, lack of funding, and lack of entrepreneurial skills and competencies. In this regard, the chapter argues that student entrepreneurship remains one of the strategies university-based youth or students could employ not only to gain business skills and experience, but also a forum through which students are able to put their creative ideas into income generating projects. The profiles of student enterprises are generated through questions such as when, who, and how such projects operate in terms of economic opportunities and challenges faced. The chapter uses both primary and secondary data obtained from already published literature.
