Education and recruitment experts are calling on China to boost entrepreneurship training on college campuses to help students get ahead in the tough job market.

Without any guidance from older entrepreneurs, only a few students succeed in starting a business as soon as they graduate, said Du Kui, executive president of Youth Business China, a nonprofit program that aims to promote entrepreneurship among young people.

He estimates the success rate is about 1 percent, based on his eight years of voluntary service as a mentor for the program.
