    TORONTO, ON, May 01, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit are disenchanted by school and formal education resulting in many asking if the school system stifles entrepreneurs. Schools and universities don't teach entrepreneurship, leaving entrepreneurs having to go in search of alternative learning opportunities. Internships and mentors have become very beneficial and influential, providing the chance for those with good business acumen to be advised and guided in the right direction.
