Entrepreneurship education has a positive impact on the entrepreneurial mindset of young people, their intentions towards entrepreneurship, their employability, and finally, on their role in society and the economy. Entrepreneurship benefits students from all socioeconomic backgrounds because it teaches students to think outside the box and nurtures unconventional talents and skills.
