Degree expected to become 'incubator' for Rockhampton development 

Published on 26 October, 2004 

CQU’s new Creative Enterprise degree is expected to become an incubator for sustainable development in the Rockhampton district.

That is according to Acting Dean of Education and Creative Arts Professor Richard Smith, who will launch the degree on Wednesday in the presence of potential local stakeholders.

Professor Smith said research in Europe and the USA showed that creative enterprise initiatives helped to generate entrepreneurial activities which wider regional employment growth was able to ‘hang off’.

He said the involvement of local industries as workplace mentors was vital to ensure campus knowledge was able to be converted into employable skills.
