    Student feedback on the course:

    “I think training in entrepreneurship education should be a compulsory part for all those working in vocational education institutions as teachers or trainers.”

    “My own teaching career is only at the beginning, or should I say a distant dream. This course provides a basis for integrating entrepreneurship education as part of my teaching, and I feel that it is a good start.”

    “I have to admit that my expectations on this course were not all that high, but on the whole, it was surprisingly rewarding. Things can be perceived from a variety of perspectives, and I can now also look at my own teaching from the entrepreneurship education perspective.”
