浙江林业大学机械工程学院大四的学生FANG Peiku为一家出售清洁建筑物的机器人的公司做好了详细的销售计划。

FANG Peiku, a senior in mechanics at Zhejiang Forestry University, has made a detailed plan for a company that sells a robot that cleans buildings.

Fang在杭州地区做了潜在用户调查，并查询了全国范围内该服务的可能受众群统计数据。此外，他还起草了一份产品成本及收益表。

Fang has done surveys of potential customers in Hangzhou and looked for national statistics on possible uses for the service. He's also drawn up cost and profit charts.

通过与同辈或是老师的探讨，他得到很大启发，帮助，令他收益颇多。他说：“他们建议我要首先获得专利权，其次再考虑增强同行间竞争力的问题。”

His greatest help, though, came from discussions with peers and teachers: "They told me to first get a patent, then think about increased competition from copycats."

Fang今年24岁，是首批参加该校本月初开设的创业课程的25名学生之一。

Fang, 24, was among the first group of 25 students to take an entrepreneurship course at his university earlier this month.

在为期十天的课程中，就如何创业这个课题，他接受了系统的训练。

Over a 10-day period, they received systematic training on how to start up a business.

杭州职业技能培训和指导中心的老师Pan Yuexin 解释说：“课程是以互动活动为主要形式的，例如制定商业计划，大脑风暴以及其他游戏。”

"The class mostly consisted of interactive activities such as discussions on business planning, brainstorming sessions, and games," explained Pan Yuexin, who teaches at the Hangzhou Vocational Skills Training and Guidance Center.

Pan是负责这项课程的导师。他表示：“学生可以通过这些活动学习到财务和管理方面的专业技能。”

Pan was a tutor for the course: "Students also get expertise on finances and management through these activities."

创业技能是近来很多大学生所探讨的问题。

Entrepreneurial skills are something quite a few college students have been talking about recently.

据《中国青年报》报道，在2009年毕业的大学生中有21.6%的学生对自主创业感兴趣。而去年，这个比例仅有6.3%。

China Youth Daily reports that 21.6 percent of 2009 college grads are interested in starting their own business. Last year there were only 6.3 percent.

然而专家却指出，由于准备不充分，学生创业失败率较高。

However, experts point out that students can easily fail at business because of a lack of preparations.

浙江的一份调查显示,87%的学生不知道任何关于创业的相关政策和法规,83%的学生想要来了解这些事情。

The Zhejiang survey found that 87 percent of the students didn't know anything about the relevant policies or laws, while 83 percent wanted some way to learn about these things.

作为回应，许多长江三角洲地区的大学开始引进“创业教育课程”，成为开设这个课程的第一批学校。

Many universities in the Yangtze River Delta have responded to this by becoming the first schools in China to introduce "entrepreneurial education courses".

Pan说他将他创业课程中的学生分成组，且让他们制定出详细的商业计划，以至于小到看护，钢琴练习，大到高科技农业计划。

Pan says that her entrepreneur courses had the students broken up into groups where they worked out complete business plans – everything from babysitting to piano training to high-tech agriculture.

在中国其他地区的学生也可以得益于这项课程。4月26日,由北京共青团赞助的第一批91名学生就顺利完成了为期4个月的课程训练。

Students in other parts of China are also benefiting from these types of courses. On April 26, the first group of 91 students graduated from a four-month course sponsored by the Beijing Youth League.

第二组学生也即将开始课程的学习。

A second group of students will start the course soon.

Qing Meng夜校将提供免费创业培训课程，课程包括从注册公司到人力资源分配、税收政策、法律事务、以及如何化解金融风险等的一切知识。

The Qing Meng Evening School course provided free training on entrepreneurship and everything from registering a company to human resources to tax policies, legal affairs, and ways to avoid financial risks.

中国石油大学大二的学生，21岁的Wang Guosheng说即使他没有立即开始创业的计划，他仍然收益颇多。

Wang Guosheng, 21, a China Petroleum University sophomore, says that although he has no immediate plan to start his own business, he still benefits.

一些知名人士例如新东方的俞敏洪甚至谈论到自己成功创业的经历。

Celebrities such as New Oriental School's Yu Minhong even talked about their own success stories.

王说：“他们告诉我身为一名企业家所应具备的基本素质及其获得方法。因此只要我具备一定的资金和技巧，我在任何时候都可以自主创业。”

"They teach us about the essential qualities of entrepreneurs and how to acquire them," Wang said, "So I could start my own business whenever I have the capital and expertise ready."
