Abstract
School of Entrepreneurial Competitiveness in the Labor Market for Secondary Grammar School Students, a project financed by the European Union, was created and carried out by First Grammar School from Zagreb. Its main aim was to encourage the development of basic entrepreneurial competencies in secondary grammar school students. Twenty- eight students, participated in a three-month entrepreneurship education program (120 teaching hours). With the main aim of establishing the empirical effects of this education, research was carried out at two points in time - before and after its
completion. The measurement included the following variables: desirability of entrepreneurship (DE), entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), entrepreneurial inclinations (EI), entrepreneurial intentions (EINT) and objective level of entrepreneurial knowledge (EK). Twenty- eight additional students (a control group) of the same gender and age structure were also tested. Research has shown some
significant positive effects of the entrepreneurship education, as well as some ‘counter-effects’, that are further discussed in the following text.
