Entrepreneurial Competences in Training Future Romanian Farmers

Since 2014, when the entrepreneurship education became a strategic direction for the EU policies in education, the EU has been providing increasing support to national policymakers in education, to universities and schools, in order to improve their approaches in entrepreneurship education. In 2016, the EntreComp Framework was launched, being not only a landmark for the public authorities but also a tool for analysing the entrepreneurial orientation of various curricula and training standards. This paper aims to make an analysis of the current Romanian Professional Training Standard, EQF level 4, Agricultural Technician specialization, from the perspective of the EntreComp framework. The intention is to point out the gap between what is already being taught and what should be taught regarding entrepreneurship as a transversal competence and to question the framework's level that the Romanian VET system should aim for through its standard in the above-mentioned specialization.
