ENTREDUCATION project is based on strengthening the corporation and innovation between vet schools and and business. The idea comes from the strict role of entrepreneurship on vet learners affecting their current and future life. Creating a link between business world and the possible future workers force us to attract the attentions of all relevant stakeholders. The need of increasing employment opportunities for vet learners is a crucial issue to see how far the vocational and technical education will be successful for the vet learners’ future life. Vet learners and other relevant stakeholders expect that they will have a good job with good salary and social facilities after completion of formal and informal education period. Thus, vet learners are supposed to attain required skills and competences.
