“…Entrepreneurship is indissoluble from creativity (Rahman et al, 2015) and has a significant influence on the company's growth (Dayan et al, 2013). Entrepreneurs are confronted with high uncertainty, which means more ill-defined and ambiguous problems that are characterized by multiple possible goals and multiple ways of solving a problem; also in the function of intermediation (Peng et al, 2014).…”

“…Quite the contrary, it is related to behaviour and personality and therefore, may be modified as the individual gets to know him or herself (Sánchez et al, 2005). Some authors such as Liñán (2007) highlight the need to encourage creativity within the education system because the development of these skills may be essential to identify opportunities (Rahman et al, 2015):…”

Purpose The aim of this paper is to explore how entrepreneurial skills (such as creativity, proactivity, and risk tolerance) and socio-cultural factors (such as role model and businessman image) affect secondary education students’ propensity towards entrepreneurial options in their future careers. Design/methodology/approach A sample of secondary education students in the Region of Murcia (Spain) has been used. Data were collected through questionnaires and analysed using logit estimation. Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (CFA) was used to validate the measures. Findings The results of this research study show that both the skills and socio-cultural factors positively affect entrepreneurial intention of secondary education students. Creativity, proactivity and risk taking promote entrepreneurial career. In addition, those students whose role model is an entrepreneur and have a better understanding of him or her, show a greater propensity towards entrepreneurial career. Originality/value The contribution to the literature on entrepreneurship is twofold. Firstly, although there are studies focused on identifying the entrepreneurial profile of university students, there is a paucity of empirical evidence relating to entrepreneurial skills at earlier stages of learning. This paper sets out to bridge this research gap. Secondly, evidence of the importance of socio-cultural factors, role models and entrepreneurial image upon the career orientation of secondary education students is identified and empirically verified. These findings involve are useful in practice, in aiding the design of better and more relevant education programs at early learning stages.

“…Several European programs identified as best practices were presented at the Oslo Conference Entrepreneurship Education in Europe: Fostering Entrepreneurial Mindsets through Education and Learning. In general, the updated teaching programs encourage critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, research-questioning and problem solving (Rahman et al, 2015) [12] and frequently involve interactive and collaborative online tools (e-learning, mobile devices and learning networks) (Ventura & María José, 2013) [17]. This kind of entrepreneurial experience is also an effective way to teach financial education, as it provides the context and the possibility for the students to apply their knowledge in a particular case of interest to them.…”

The authors aim to determine the importance of practical preparation of future accountants, auditors and entrepreneurs during the study both from the point of view of the companies with transnational scope of activity that belong to the group of the Czech Republic's most attractive employers and from the point of view of the students of the University of Economics in Prague (Czech Republic) in the field of accounting and financial management, who very often gain positions in such companies. Another aim is to verify what emphasis the practice in the international context places on providing the students with knowledge of business and market laws in relation to the abovementioned professions. The research was conducted by using a questionnaire survey at the beginning of 2018. The chi-square test of independence was used in view of the categorical variables. Practical preparation is important for both groups of respondents (i.e. 139 students and 24 relevant companies-employers). During the study, it was established that most students are already employed (75% of the bachelor and 95% of the master programmes students), which shows that the students in the accounting and corporate financial management field of study have a very close contact with practice. Although most students at both levels of education are already employed (88%), only 52% of them work in the field which is identical to their educational programme. Satisfaction of companies with students is conditioned by their practical preparation during the studies, which, however, is most often non-existing. The companies' representatives, as well as students, recommend that practical subjects be incorporated in the course of study. Also, emphasis should be placed on the development of professional competences of auditors and accountants, as well as on entrepreneurships' training, which should be in the form of simulated professional environment during the classes. Taking into consideration the results of the new research and scientific studies, we consider the recommended procedures to be justified and relevant internationally.
