  • Is the trainee motivated to plunge into entrepreneurial career and beer risks involved in it?
  • How should he or she behave like an entrepreneur?
  • What kinds of entrepreneurial traits the trainee lacks the most?
  • Does the trainees possess the required skill in selecting the viable project, mobilizing the required resources at the right time?
