Entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurship education: the role of universities
Serena Cubico, Giuseppe Favretto, Piermatteo Ardolino, Diego Bellini
Entrepreneurship is a key issue for the development of the social and work inclusion potential of new generations and for economic growth. Entrepreneurial competencies in young people are the subject of attention for international and national institutions. Different models are designed to understand the factors that support entrepreneurial competence and specific types of intervention and places where it is possible to take action to increase them are identified. Universities are one of the privileged places where, beyond specific contents, it is possible to operate with a transversal perspective in which entrepreneurship and its determinants become part of educational culture. Some results of research/intervention projects are presented here.
