Needs and Perspectives of Entrepreneurship Education for Postgraduate Students. A Romanian Case Study

Summary/Abstract: Entrepreneurship education is essential in supporting the main goals of the Europe 2020 strategy. Also, the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan states that it is entrepreneurship that makes the European economy more competitive and innovative.Despite the fact that entrepreneurs create jobs and bring contributions to the economy, their successes are not presented as role models in the media. For young people, this makes an entrepreneurial career rank rather low in the list of attractive professions and it is a deterrent to those who might want to become entrepreneurs. Therefore, this article will present the results of a survey conducted among postgraduate students from 2 masteral programs at University of Bucharest. The opportunity to be involved in a mentoring activity with a successful entrepreneur was presented as a concept and tested. The need for role models and building a network with entrepreneur mentors are few of the research findings.
