  • Definition of entrepreneurial learning
  • All forms of education and training, both formal
    and non-formal, which contribute to an
    entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial
    behaviour with or without a commercial
    objective. (ETF, 2009)
  • Definition of an entrepreneur
  • An entrepreneur is someone who seeks out
    opportunities, takes initiatives often based on
    risk and through new ventures decides how
    resources can be most effectively applied. Driven
    by the need for achievement, the entrepreneur may
    not necessarily be motivated by profit but use it
    as a measure of success. (ETF, 2009).
