Acquisition of professional competencies – theoretical knowledge and

practical skills
Some people are more likely to be entrepreneurs because they are born with certain
characteristics. "We cannot deny that there are those who are born with the entrepreneurial kit,
such as those who are born with a good ear for music, but the evidence shows us the
effectiveness of education in improving entrepreneurial skills, which increases their business
intention. Entrepreneurial skills can be learned like any other type of skill, according to various
research and experts in the field, including the study prepared by the European Commission
and Eurydice, Education for entrepreneurship in schools in Europe (2016).

The entrepreneurship process is conceived through three stages:

1. The first and most elementary stage is related to the development of attitudes
(entrepreneurial thinking)
2. The second stage involves the development of a skill set.
3. The third stage is a moment of greater maturity and expertise. Here the process of
entrepreneurship moves towards the consolidation of entrepreneurship
