Guidance supporting Europe’s aspiring entrepreneurs
Policy and practice to harness future potential

The rise in the total number of entrepreneurs in Europe, as well as a rise in
the numbers of entrepreneurs educated at medium and high levels, indicates that
IVET and HE provide a fertile ground for new and emerging talent. Providing
wider access to entrepreneurship learning could have a positive effect on
business formation rates in the coming years if IVET providers and HEIs are
equipped to support students.
The following three chapters explore how guidance can help promote
entrepreneurial aspirations and equip Europeans with appropriate skills for
entrepreneurship. The first two Chapters (three and four) focus on the availability
and role of guidance in supporting the entrepreneurship agenda of IVET and HE
institutions. Chapter 5 reports on the availability of guidance and other support to
develop the career management skills of aspiring and novice entrepreneurs.
