    I have experienced working with students who were given access to a dedicated office space provided by their school. Every single student highlighted the added value of having such a hub: the atmosphere immediately shifts from a traditional school environment to the authentic experience of running their own business.

    This does not mean that theory should be abandoned. On the contrary, a hub creates the opportunity for students to better understand, apply and experience the relevance of that theory in practice.

    Entrepreneurial VET education is increasingly moving away from traditional teaching towards coaching, experimentation and real-world learning. But can we expect teachers to guide students in this entrepreneurial journey without a strong ecosystem around them? A teacher can coach, motivate and challenge students, but entrepreneurship does not grow in isolation. Students need access to companies, mentors, peers, networks and opportunities to test their ideas. This raises a challenging question: Can entrepreneurial education truly succeed without a hub connecting students, educators and the world outside the classroom?

    • Some argue that great teachers are enough: the right mindset and coaching skills matter more than any structure.
    • Others believe that without a supportive hub, entrepreneurial education remains limited to theory instead of becoming a real learning experience.

What if our team lacks confidence in coaching students on business topics?

Emphasize process over content—coaching is about guiding reflection, not giving expert business advice. Bring in guest entrepreneurs when needed.
