Key findings/results | Training had a significant impact on business creation and business opportunity identification; training had significant effects on entrepreneurial goal intentions, action planning, action knowledge, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. | Entrepreneurship education had a positive effect on attitudes toward entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, and the intention to become an entrepreneur; the intention to become an entrepreneur affects entrepreneurial behaviour. | Personal attitude heavily affects students’ decision for self-employment after the entrepreneurship awareness course, while perceived behavioural control is not a relevant predictor of start-up intentions; extrinsic motivation (financial success) displaces intrinsic motives (self-actualization) in an awareness education. | Authors identified idiosyncratic competencies; they also developed measures to determine competency development; competencies can be enhanced based on exposure to an entrepreneurship program. | In the short term, the program had a strong, measurable impact on the entrepreneurial intention of students; it also had a positive, but not very significant, impact on their perceived behavioural control. |
