dc.description.abstract | Recidivism rates across the world remain high, and one of the key reasons
for this situation is that people leaving the prison system have great
difficulty in securing employment. Addressing this issue must be explored
from a broad perspective, but one potential career option that is under-
explored is self-employment, with few entrepreneurship programmes
available within prison systems. This study explores a competency-based
approach to training, examining the knowledge, skills, and behaviours
needed to enhance the prospects of persons with lived experience of
prison becoming entrepreneurs. Using thematic analysis on ten in-depth
interviews, this article identifies three categories of competency (generic,
specific, and existing) that need to be developed, honed and leveraged
through an in-prison entrepreneurship programme designed to enhance
the likelihood of participants undertaking entrepreneurial activity upon
release. Such findings aim to contribute to the competency-based
approach to training, to the minority entrepreneurship domain, and to
the entrepreneurship education literature. | en |
