ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING IN CONTENT OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: While analyzing concepts of entrepreneurship and requirements for entrepreneurship training, two attitudes towards it appear – entrepreneurship in more narrow and wider points: 1. In more narrow point entrepreneurship is perceived as being able to create economic value: knowing how to earn money, attract investments and knowing how to impress potential consumers of the service or product.

It is possible to provide three levels of attitudes towards entrepreneurship: public, educological and labor market. The problem question in the article is how to integrate entrepreneurship training into the content of vocational training?
