Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurial attitude and behavior are valu­able assets whether you work in your own busi­ness or for others. Typical features of entrepre­neurial people include ability and competences to create, recognize and exploit opportunities as well as manage new venture processes. These features characterize people seeking innovative and exciting positions in their careers.

This need relates to the interrelated triangle of evolving labour markets and employ­ment, innovativeness and renewal of economies, educational institutions and individual compe­tences.
