Description
Entrepreneurship and business are the engine room of regional development.
Business owners create jobs, support local industry, and keep wealth and spending in the community. Through his own career and business mentoring experience, Scott Williams AM has observed the multiplier effect that successful local businesses can have in regional communities.
Since 2016, the Scott Williams Foundation Study Support Bursary has supported many UniSC Bachelor of Business students to complete their degree with the aim of equipping recipients to succeed in business, so they may in turn become employers and contributors in their community.
