Abstract

This paper considers innovations and trends in the development of entrepreneurial education for women. The high competitiveness of educational European programs is to be noted. Subregional and gender features of entrepreneurial education are analyzed on the case of Northern and Eastern Europe. The similarity of the problems faced by European countries is highlighted. The case study shows gender differences in the assessment of entrepreneurial competencies and readiness to receive entrepreneurial education. This work emphasizes the importance of integrating entrepreneurial education with European models of entrepreneurial education, the value of real-life business activities through interaction with entrepreneurs including women-entrepreneurs in developing training programs and their implementation, as well as developing a core of entrepreneurial competencies. The integration of entrepreneurial education, is concluded to be most completely manifested in the creation of international and interregional network models for entrepreneurship education, including network models for teaching women entrepreneurship.
