TEACHING ENTREPRENEURSHIP: THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL

From school, particularly from Vocational Training, we are convinced that the future of our youth and our society has to go through to understand how global economy and business world work. Youth has to must be able to create their own professional and personal projects but School has to help them.

The academic world understands the meaning of "entrepreneurship" in the broadest sense. This concept includes from start-ups to social entrepreneurship through entrepreneurship within a created company. Therefore, the question is:

What should be the role developed by vocational training school?

Training centres understand that not everyone has to become an entrepreneur to undertake business project but we believe that our duty is to help them consider creating their own business as an alternative to be employee and awakening entrepreneurial vocations among our VET students.

It is true that teaching values ​​related to entrepreneurship, school transmit a set of values ​​such as initiative, creativity, decision-making, negotiation and teamwork, values ​​that certainly will help them in their personal and professional development outside they  develop their own business or project.

These values ​​certainly develop caring citizens while critically with economic and social reality around them.

Thus, the duty of the VET centres is participate, create, stimulate ... projects related to entrepreneurship in order to teach to students these values and skills. Fortunately, Vocational Training, and school in general, are mobilizing to teach the values ​​of an entrepreneurial culture.

The Entangle Project’s consortium is convinced that stimulate entrepreneurship among young people create better citizens while they develop new economic opportunities.
