Boost Entrepreneurship Education through Business Education
Entrepreneurship Education is a major concern to enable economic growth and sustainable development. According to the European Commission, the key competence entrepreneurship should be embedded into curricula across primary, secondary, vocational, higher and adult education before the end of 2015. This session concentrated on Vocational Education and Training and informed about various multidimensional learning and teaching approaches for the students' competence development according to a broad understanding of Entrepreneurship Education.
The focus was on action-oriented methods like Learning Office, Practice Enterprise (also Virtual Enterprise or Practice Firm) and Junior Company. These business simulations for learning purposes were introduced with theoretical background, practical examples and international platforms. After the discussion of their advantages and disadvantages, a combined concept for a comprehensive Entrepreneurship Education was developed in order to foster entrepreneurial, occupational and personal independence.
