JADE is a network of junior enterprises and therefore alumni of JADE already have practical experience networking and they are more aware of the importance of this aspect. JADE alumni have the highest score on networking (Figure 16) compared with the other groups. Entrepreneurship alumni rate themselves with higher scores on networking than alumni in the control group.
The adaptability of alumni di ers among the three distinctive groups. JADE’s alumni tend to have the highest amount of adaptability. Alumni that have attended entrepreneurship courses consider themselves more adaptable than alumni in the control group (Figure 17).
It turns out that entrepreneurship alumni have a stronger desire for a transition towards entrepreneurship than control group alumni (Figure 21). JADE alumni have an even stronger desire for a transition towards entrepreneurship than entrepreneurship alumni. Furthermore, male alumni outscore female alumni. There are no signi cant age di erences.
The clustered score for these four statements also shows that entrepreneurship alumni have a stronger desire for a transition towards entrepreneurship than control group
alumni (Figure 22). On average they are less negative towards entrepreneurship, they
have a stronger desire to be an entrepreneur among various options, they think more often that entrepreneurship will give them great satisfaction and they see more often the attractiveness of a career as an entrepreneur. Again, of the three groups, JADE alumni have the strongest desire towards entrepreneurship.
