Purpose: The aim of the article is to analyse the conditions and possibilities of using entrepreneurship education in secondary schools in the context of stimulating the development of entrepreneurial skills and competences among students. What is more, the researchers examined the impact of entrepreneurship education provided at school to create the potential and acquire the skills required to create a new business venture and company management by university students. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this goal, a quantitative method was used, based on a survey conducted with the participation of 542 students admitted to the first year of studies in the academic year 2021/2022 at the Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology. Findings: The results of the conducted research prove that every fourth graduate, regardless of whether they graduated from a Technical College or a General High School, assesses the education in the field of entrepreneurship, its potential to strengthen their predispositions and acquiring the skills required to lead own company, as average. Research limitations/implications: The research included only first-year students of the university, which does not constitute the basis for generalizing the obtained results for students studying in other academic centres. Formulating conclusions should be limited to the test sample only. Practical implications: The results of the study may be of interest to scientists and practitioners, examining the assessment and development of entrepreneurial competences among students of high schools and universities. In addition, this study can be helpful to employers who want to find out more about entrepreneurial attitudes of university graduates. Originality/value: This study may contribute to the debate on the role of education in shaping entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions among secondary school students.

Purpose: The main purpose of this work is to analyze the attitudes, intentions and actions of young people in relation to educational programs on entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: The survey of respondents was conducted through popular social networks in the region by filling out a questionnaire on the Internet. The sample group consisted of 179 people aged 17-35 years. Findings: Young people who refused to take part in an educational program on entrepreneurship, as a rule, have no ideas or projects for business and are characterized by zero entrepreneurial activity. Respondents from this group, in comparison with others, have a poor understanding of the goals and objectives of startups, and are also less likely than others to choose an intensive training program. All this may indicate that the real reason for the refusal of young people to participate in paid training programs may be a lack of motivation and a clear understanding by respondents of their vision of themselves as an entrepreneur. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of this study are related to the fact that the survey was of a regional nature for the target group of 17-35 years. In this regard, its results cannot be generalized. The results we have obtained provide a reasonable basis for further research on barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Practical implications: The research results are qualitatively, analyzed feedback from young people on the problems of low entrepreneurial activity which can be used to develop government measures to stimulate the private sector. In addition, the results provide a reasonable basis for further research on the role and relationship of financial and educational barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Social implications: The results of the research allow us to revise the measures of youth policy aimed at increasing entrepreneurial activity through the formation of sustainable behavioral entrepreneurial intentions. Originality/value: This study is an independent and comprehensive analysis of the low activity of young people in educational programs in the field of entrepreneurship.

This paper seeks to examine and explore the strategic approach towards Generation Y in the municipalities of selected cities in Poland. The question at hand was if the needs of this generation are explicitly reflected and addressed in the strategic documents. A sample of 67 documents from 21 cities was used and an assessment scoring tool was developed. The research allowed for the indication of a number of barriers that need to be addressed in the design of city strategies. To explore the opportunities for creative and innovative companies’ development to be key resources for urban entrepreneurship, it is crucial to increase awareness among decision makers in local governments aimed at better catering to the needs of Millennials.

Niniejsza praca ma na celu zbadanie oraz analizę tego, jak władze samorządowe w wybranych miastach Polski reagują na potrzeby przedstawicieli pokolenia Y na poziomie strategicznym. Pytanie badawcze sformułowano w następujący sposób: czy potrzeby tego pokolenia są wyraźnie odzwierciedlone i uwzględnione w dokumentach strategicznych. W badaniu wykorzystano 67 dokumentów strategicznych z 21 miast, a także opracowano narzędzie analityczne służące do ich oceny punktowej. Przeprowadzone przez autorów badania pozwoliły na wskazanie szeregu barier, które należy uwzględnić przy opracowywaniu strategii miast. W celu wykorzystania możliwości kreatywnych i innowacyjnych przedsiębiorstw jako kluczowych zasobów dla przedsiębiorczości w miastach, istotne jest zwiększenie świadomości decydentów w samorządach lokalnych o konieczności zaspokajania potrzeb millenialsów.
