Entrepreneurial Education as a Subject for Brazilian Education

Abstract

This chapter looks at the nuances of entrepreneurial education in Brazil and other countries. It highlights how it can be applied, its forms of teaching, its approach, and its consequences since it affects a country in the economic, political, and social spheres. It also looks at how the individual is impacted when included in entrepreneurial education, the change in thinking, the skills developed, and how these aspects have repercussions on the social environment. A comparison is made between countries that have successfully implemented entrepreneurial education and those that are still on this path. The needs for its implementation are discussed: training of educators, reformulation of curricula, incentives for young people to join, as well as the joint work of the government, education departments, and entrepreneurs. Given the clear need for innovation in the job market and, consequently, in those who will enter it, it is crucial to discuss entrepreneurial education and how it affects individual development and employment within a society.
