Abstract
The objectives of this paper are to illustrate the models of entrepreneurship education at the higher education level in the Republic of Croatia with a focus on the methodological approach of the development of student companies and to create the basis for the deeper study of student entrepreneurship in the Republic of Croatia. Promotion and development of education for entrepreneurship have been one of the key objectives of the policies of the European Union for many years. Education for entrepreneurship plays a significant role in shaping young people's mindset as well as developing the skills, knowledge, and competencies necessary to create an entrepreneurial culture. Higher education institutions are the main drivers of the development of education system for entrepreneurship, as a meeting place of knowledge and expertise on the one hand, and proactivity, innovation, and ideas, on the other hand. New and creative methods of teaching and learning, curricula and extracurricular activities directly affect the promotion of entrepreneurship as a career choice. In this paper, the authors analyze the approaches to education for entrepreneurship at higher education institutions with special emphasis on student enterprises.
