Aspiring businesswomen 'getting more attention'

Aspiring businesswomen 'getting more attention' Female graduates who are looking to set up their own business are getting more attention and support than ever, it has been claimed.

While there tends to be relatively little difference between the nature of men and women's business ventures, women's enterprise is being boosted by increase support from the government.

According to the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NCGE), graduates of art design – who are predominantly female – are "prime candidates" for starting their own business.

Lorna Collins, director of the NCGE's Flying Start Programme said the body is "finding that there are an awful lot of women who have creative ideas or are in creative industries […] so [it is] almost targeting that particular market more."

ClickAJob recruitment consultant Clair Lovett believes much of this success is down female motivation and initiative.

"A lot of women feel they need to challenge more and are used to driving themselves harder," she explains.

The NCGE was formed in 2004 to raise the profile of graduate entrepreneurship.
