  • The impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions of students
    Širec, Karin ; Rebernik, Miroslav
    Contrary to numerous research findings about the important influence on the formation of individuals' interest to participate in entrepreneurship activities, entrepreneurship education is still ... poorly developed at all levels of education. It does not encourage creativity, independence, or personal initiative enough, nor does it focus sufficient attention on entrepreneurship and the setting up of new businesses. This paper discusses entrepreneurship education and training in Slovenia based on the international study of students' motivation for entrepreneurship. Although Slovenia ranks relatively well in terms of global comparisons, the entrepreneurship education and training in Slovenia demands more targeted measures and better tailored entrepreneurship policy in this area, especially at the university level. Improve entrepreneurship education at universities requires several steps. First, this type of education needs to be expanded to technical faculties. Students attending technical faculties throughout Europe as well as in Slovenia lack information about entrepreneurship because there are no compulsory or optional entrepreneurship subjects offered. Universities should become more responsible for the development of regions and economies; through this role they will become aware of the fact that the creation of knowledge is not enough if this knowledge is not transferred into useful products and services.
