Entrepreneurial competitions can positively affect the entrepreneurial learning of university students. Practice is key when it comes to teaching entrepreneurship, there is no other way. No amount of theory can fully prepare a student to be a small business owner. However, when students get to witness entrepreneurship firsthand through these competitions, it fuels their curiosity more. I believe that entrepreneurship should be introduced to students from elementary school because that's the best way to go today. Instead of everyone jostling for the few available jobs, how about we teach students how to create their own jobs and thereby becoming employers themselves
Interesting question. I guess in every case of competition (in any field of study and any level of education) the main aim should be to promote learning, identification of talents and health development.
However, what each person gains from each competition (and each experience) depends on this persons' personality and point of view, I think.
