Abstract
In today’s dynamic economic environment, entrepreneurial skills are becoming increasingly important for young people who are considering self-employment as a step towards achieving their professional goals and economic independence. On the other hand, understanding the link between entrepreneurial skills and intentions is also key to adapting educational programs and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit among young people. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of entrepreneurial education on the self-assessment of entrepreneurial skills and intentions of students of the School of Economics in Vukovar. Using the ASTEE questionnaire as the main measuring instrument, the analysis focuses on identifying key entrepreneurial skills, such as creativity, financial literacy, planning, teamwork, but also pedagogical approaches that shape the entrepreneurial mindset. The study involved 199 students (N=199), and data processing was conducted by descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that skills like creativity, innovation, teamwork and management increase students’ tendency towards entrepreneurial activities, and innovation has got the strongest impact on the positive perception of entrepreneurship as a career option. The research indicates the importance of integrating entrepreneurial subjects into school curricula in order to encourage the development of entrepreneurial knowledge and skills among young people with the aim of preparing them for a successful entrepreneurial career.
