Entrepreneurship teaching in VET through the Change Laboratory

Abstract

This article is about entrepreneurship teaching in Vocational Education and Training. It is argued that the Change Laboratory within the framework of Developmental Work Research is an effective and viable approach to entrepreneurship teaching. There are three main reasons for this. First, the agency embedded in the Laboratory triggers the participants’ sense of initiative.
Second, the Change Laboratory is an ideal location for implementing the European agenda of introducing entrepreneurship into the vocational curriculum at the local level, thus allowing sustainability. Third, the Laboratory is a space where the individual’s abilities connected to the European competence called “sense of initiative and entrepreneurship” is challenged and enhanced.
