In vocational education, students should learn both the profession and the entrepreneurial skills needed in working life in a relatively short time. In many fields of study, students start working as entrepreneurs right after graduation. This situation is particularly interesting from the perspective of educational development and research. LUT University, HAMK Professional Teacher Education, and Oamk Professional Teacher Education are jointly implementing a research and development project, which will be carried out between April 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026.

The aim of the research and development project is to promote entrepreneurship education in vocational training. The project will test methods of entrepreneurship education and evaluate their impact on the development of students’ entrepreneurial skills. Additionally, the project’s measures will strengthen vocational teacher education from the perspective of entrepreneurship education. The entrepreneurship education competence of student teachers will be enhanced, and the project will create tools suitable for the implementation and evaluation of entrepreneurship education for both student teachers and those already working as teachers.
