Can Entrepreneurship be Taught to Vocational Students?

Abstract

The promotion of entrepreneurial competencies and attitudes is increasingly becoming the policy of governments whose objective is to increase innovation and employment through enterprise creation (ILO, 2003). For example, the European Commission and individual European Union member states have adopted a range of measures to foster a stronger culture of entrepreneurship and to develop an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’ amongst citizens, targeting particularly young people (ECOTEC, 2010).
