ENTREPRENEURSHIP AS AN EMPLOYMENT STATUS OF HIGHER EDUCATION GRADUATES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION

Tóm tắt

This paper discusses entrepreneurship as an employment status of higher education graduates drawn on both secondary and primary data. The main research findings show that the entrepreneurship rate of Vietnam is higher than many other countries and Vietnamese university graduates. The entrepreneurship rate of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education’s graduates is 12.3%, which is a moderate level. A large proportion of the entrepreneurs come up to start a new business at university or after graduation. The findings imply that tailored entrepreneurship courses for students in different disciplines at university will increase the entrepreneurship rate and the entrepreneurial success of the graduates.
