Entrepreneurship education in school

This program aims at helping teachers and trainers embed entrepreneurial teaching material into their extra-curricular activities but also as a part of their basic teaching schedule. The participants will also be discovering new tools for expanding the scope of their students’ professional options as freelancers.

Entrepreneurial education can be especially useful in vocational education where entrepreneurial competence can prove an advanced and unique advantage in job seeking. More importantly, where traditional job qualifications fail at helping a student find a job, entrepreneurial skills succeed by rendering the student capable of creating work for themselves through the formation of start-ups and small businesses. The Danish Foundation for Entrepreneurship has proposed the following definition for entrepreneurial education: “Content, methods and activities supporting the creation of knowledge, competencies and experiences that make it possible for students to initiate and participate in entrepreneurial value creating processes”. As it has been shown by a great number of studies and focus group interviews among students, across many European countries, the entrepreneurial spirit has not been cultivated in official school curriculums, apart from a few exceptions. Students should bear in mind that ample academic knowledge in their field of interest and even decent professional experience most of the time isn’t enough for them to make smart entrepreneurial decisions.
