Abstract
The grounds for enterpreneurial learning in terms of strengthening of competitive position of Croatia in global economy are presented in the national strategic document – Strategy for learning in enterpreneurship „Enterpreneurial Croatia“ for period 2010. – 2014. The strategy was made as an answer to numerous questions, problems and challenges Croatia is faced with. It is directed to accepting of enterpreneurship as social, national, economic and educational activity. One of the most important measures from the high education perspective presented in this document is related to introduction of enterpreneurial learning as a key competence for adopting of dinamic economic trends. With the aim of realization of the mentioned measure, the central place is taken by the educational system that is able to react to changes in the surroundings. Making of such a dinamic system able to follow fast social, scientific and technological changes is going to result in educational substances and learning aims. Young people, as users of educational and learning services, are going to be able to meet new market challenges. That is why the Universities of applied sciences have to take over a proactive role in promotion and development of enterpreneurship, because in the following years the acquired knowlegde, skills and competences of young people are going to present the lever of development in for the time being stagnating economy and labour market.
