Entrepreneurial Education

Abstract

This chapter presents entrepreneurial education as a source of social transformation in relation to the urgent need to adapt to the new modus operandi, influenced by economic and social forces. The goal is to provoke reflections on the theoretical conception of being an entrepreneur, the education, the entrepreneurial activity that drives changes, the growth and the development of the local and global economies based on the analysis of entrepreneurial education in Brazil as a methodic journey through a literature review and critical analysis by the authors, who gather solid experience in the area of education for entrepreneurship. As a result of the study, there is the need for intensive investments which offer entrepreneurial education from basic education, in order to attend the continuous training directed to students, beginner and experienced entrepreneurs, and to individuals in immigration situations.

Enhancing the entrepreneurial capabilities of female immigrant entrepreneurs through Entrepreneurship Education and Training (EET) – The Irish Context

“…Despite these challenges, there are opportunities to be harnessed from female immigrant entrepreneurship, including the wealth of cultural, social and economic value through their ties to their countries of origin, while fostering transnational trade relationships (Njaramba, Chigeza and Whitehouse 2018). Thus, EET for women immigrants should focus on equipping and enabling them to circumvent some of the afore-mentioned barriers/challenges and to develop new capabilities and competencies, which are critical to managing an enterprise successfully, while creating products or services, which add economic value and leads to selfemployment (Resende et al, 2020).…”
