Entrepreneurship Education for VET Schools

<< Background >>The direct and indirect impact of vocational education on the spread of entrepreneurship in economic development is particularly important, as vocational secondary school students are an important part of the entrepreneurial phenomenon.Entrepreneurship education gives our students the opportunity to build the competences necessary for the modern entrepreneur, to develop their entrepreneurial skills, to discover personal qualities and entrepreneurial abilities. The knowledge acquired, based on the module developed within the project, will in future enable students not only to open a business, but also to successfully coordinate business processes and communication, to attract resources and achieve results, and to sustain competition in a skilful and conscientious manner. It would be good if students knew not only how to open their own business at the outset, but also how to properly exit or exit a business project, as this is only a process, not a failure or a disaster. And for that they need a set of professional competences. The knowledge acquired allows, in principle, to turn any idea into action. This ability includes creativity, innovation, the ability to take risks, as well as the ability to plan and manage any project. << Objectives >>- To emphasize the guiding and encouraging role of VET teachers, to enable VET teachers to become more competent in entrepreneurship and to create a training module to be used in VET education (Entrepreneurship trainings aiming to develop students' entrepreneurial skills, teaching basic entrepreneurship and business information and ways of financing);- To increase the awareness and courage of young people in entering the labor market;- Preparing a story-tel series based on real success stories of entrepreneurs;- To make our students entrepreneurial minds equipped to meet the needs of the labor market;- increase the attractiveness and efficiency of VET training by strengthening partnerships between VET schools and European institutions specialized in the provision of education services;- Developing the operational capacity of partners to work on international projects.
