Summary/Abstract: One of the leading topics in translator and interpreter education is how to match the educational vision of the educators with that of the market and that of the students. The debate has been going on for more than two decades now, and it seems it is likely to occupy the researchers and practitioners in the nearest future. One aspect of the educational aspirations to make students active and successful players on the Language Service Provision market is entrepreneurship. The aim of this paper is to promote effective operationalization of this concept to help graduates not only find a job, but first of all make them self-directed in significant life choices.
