Purpose: The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the knowledge and approach of young people to the issue of social entrepreneurship as an area of activity important for shaping key competences in the New Economy. The additional aim of the paper is to describe the feeling of readiness of young people to act as an agent, both in relation to society and this economy. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this goal, a diagnostic study was carried out (based on the so-called task catalogue) with a group of over 500 students studying at vocational schools, high schools and technical colleges in Greater Poland, as well as 3 workshops with students representing particular types of schools. Findings: The research established that students are aware of the possibility of participation in the social world through the broadly understood social entrepreneurship and activity in the third sector. It was also established that they are very aware of the possibilities and the need for agency in this area. The discussed resources of students translate into competences necessary in the New Economy. Research limitations/implications: Contemporary research with adolescents requires taking into account a number of factors that may affect their course. In more extensive research, these issues will certainly be worth considering already at the stage of conceptualization of the research and construction of research tools. Practical implications: Social entrepreneurship of young people is constantly transforming and although its subject is changing (from activities related to shared management to activities related to social solidarity and civic attitudes), it invariably refers to joint activities on the border of economic and social reality. The approach of young people to the implementation of socially useful tasks is also changing. Young people see them as an opportunity both to solve social problems and to meet the challenges related to changes in the postmodern world. Social implications: The competences gained by young people make them more aware and engaged citizens, but also more aware and responsible future participants of the New Economy. Originality/value: The paper reconstructs the resources, approach and attitudes of young people towards the possibilities of agency offered by social entrepreneurship. The collected knowledge was analysed on the basis of the competence challenges posed by the New Economy for the New Generation project.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present an original proposal of a methodology to test the competencies of the young generation and how it may be used for working with young people. Design/methodology/approach: The research methodology presented in this paper is inspired by the assessment centre method, which is adapted for the purposes of testing the young generation, so that their competence potential may be determined based on original tasks. Findings: The paper describes what detailed competencies are revealed during the task performance. It allows to determine how a teacher may stimulate the development of a particular competency in a student by using it in the teaching process. It is demonstrated how introducing certain tasks to be done by students as part of their school life allows the young people to face potential challenges of the future labour market. Research limitations/implications: The paper presents the strengths and weaknesses of the presented methodology of competency test, pointing out to the difficulties caused by the time consumption involved in the completion of it. Practical implications: The research tools presented in this article allow for a multi-stage and multifaceted process of simulating the challenges which will be faced by young people when choosing a career. This way, young people could face varying challenges to help them determine what requirements and expectations they will face further in the education process and later, when entering the labour market under the Economy 4.0 conditions. Social implications: The education system must be improved towards a more practical approach to teaching and its better alignment with the requirements set out by the contemporary labour market. The prepared tools allow a teacher to determine the competencies held by a student and encourage his or her further development. Originality/value: The prepared tasks and the way of analysis of the results of the research are an original achievement of the research team who developed them. The developed methodology may expand the educational toolbox of teachers.
