Entrepreneurship in higher education – impacts on graduates' entrepreneurial intentions, activity and learning outcome

چکیده
Entrepreneurship education has been high on the European agenda during the last ten years. Many countries, among them Norway, have launched action plans to promote entrepreneurship education. The aim of the plan is to foster innovative and entrepreneurial skills, and to encourage more young persons to establish their own enterprises. This paper is based on a survey among higher education (HE) graduates mapping among other things the extent to which the graduates have participated in different forms of entrepreneurship education during their study time. The survey forms a part of a formative research project following a Norwegian action plan for entrepreneurship in education and training with special emphasis on higher education (Ministry of Education and Research, 2010).
