Impact Of Entrepreneurship Education On Entrepreneurship Competencies And Intentions: An Evaluation Of Undergraduate Students Of Nasarawa State University Keffi-Nigeria

This paper analyzes the impact of entrepreneurship education on university students' entrepreneurship competencies and intentions. Entrepreneurship education focuses on the development of skills or attributes that enable the realization of opportunity, where management education is focused on the best way to operate existing hierarchies. Both approaches share an interest in achieving "profit" in some form (which in non-profit organizations or government can take the form of increased services or decreased cost or increased responsiveness to the customer/citizen/client). Entrepreneurship education can positively impact a student at all levels in a wide number ofcontexts. This may explain why there are such a wide variety of entrepreneurship educations, all of which can provide important outcomes at various stages of a student's life. In conclusion, as supporters of entrepreneurship education the Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education applauds the great diversity o fprograms that fall under the framework of the National Standards for Entrepreneurship Education.
