Self-Regulated Learning in Refugee Entrepreneurship Education: A University-Based Program for Tibetan Entrepreneurs in India

This article presents a case study evaluation of an entrepreneurship education (EE) program for Tibetan refugees in India. In the context of both calls for and critiques of entrepreneurial support strategies for refugee communities, the authors of this study used mixed methods and ethnographic approaches to reflect upon the delivery and reception of the Tibetan Entrepreneurship Development initiative's preincubation training program during its third cycle. Two innovative features of this program--its use of the material and intellectual resources of a university to support the refugee-entrepreneurs and its pedagogical emphasis on self-regulated learning--might serve as a model for similar initiatives among refugee groups in South Asia and beyond. Examining the participants' evolving entrepreneurial visions of themselves and their community, we offer critical reflections on the program's successes and areas for improvement.
