Entrepreneurship education
Entrepreneurship education means knowledge, skills and attitude. The perspectives arising from entrepreneurship can be promoted by means of entrepreneurship education. However, entrepreneurship as a business is not the goal of entrepreneurship education, even though people sometimes think it is.
Activities of the research group
The activities of the entrepreneurship education research group can be understood by exploring its starting points. According to the definitions of the YES network, entrepreneurship education can, for example,
- increase courage, creativity, responsibility and initiative
- teach goal-orientation and perseverance
- help identify and utilise one’s strengths
- encourage to identify and seize opportunities, and turn ideas into action
- increase the ability to understand, identify and manage risks
- increase decision-making capacity and teach tolerance towards uncertainty and disappointment
- promote working life knowledge and skills
Through these objectives, you see that the targets of entrepreneurship education are everywhere in learning. The most important goal of entrepreneurship education is to help each person find their own thing. In the long term, entrepreneurship education develops the wellbeing of the entire society and individuals.
In addition to education providers, entrepreneurship education is developed by various actors such as entrepreneur and youth organisations, and various networks. Centria is active in regional, national and international entrepreneurship education networks.
