CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
I. Introduction
Currently, perceptions regarding a professional career have changed, and
individuals no longer base their future on a permanent relationship with a single
employer even when they continue to follow the same career path (Lee & Johnston,
2001). Currently, great emphasis is placed on the self-management of one’s own career
and continual skill development (Anakwe, Hall, & Schor, 2000; Gysbers, Heppner, &
Johnsto, 1998; Hall, 1996). Because self-employment provides these opportunities, it has
aroused increasing interest. Among adult Polish citizens, 22% intend to start a business
compared with 13% of individuals in the European Union (Tarnawa & Zadura-Lichota,
2013).
The economy of a country is based on the knowledge and abilities of its citizens.
Skills requirements change as a result of outside investment, technological advancements,
and globalization. People must gain skills to be productive and earn a living in order to
keep up with changes, and all of this may be accomplished through education. Education
is the most significant vehicle for people's empowerment in terms of socioeconomic,
political, and technological advancement. Higher education institutions' learning
environments must take this into account when constructing their academic programs.
Higher education institutions may make a significant contribution to course
program quality assurance by using tracer study concepts to build a sustainable learning

empowerment environment for previous students' continued professional growth. While
many higher education institutions give instruction to a diverse range of clients, the
majority of them forget about them once they graduate and leave the institution's
surroundings with no way to reach them.
Entrepreneurship has evolved into a potent weapon for creating jobs and
strengthening economic power in both the labor market and the overall economy.
Furthermore, with the onset of the fourth industrial revolution, start-ups require a variety
of skills, including creativity, invention, and agility. As a result, most institutions now
offer entrepreneurial training programs in the belief that the value of entrepreneurship
and the knowledge and skills required to succeed as an entrepreneur can be taught, and
policy support for entrepreneurship education is growing in many countries around the
world . In addition, there is a lot of interest in and money invested in entrepreneurs. In
addition, in order to enhance entrepreneurial thinking, interest and investment in
entrepreneurship education is expanding in all degree programs from elementary schools
to graduate institutions. Entrepreneurial education has grown increasingly significant in
response to student demand for business education that may provide them with the skills
they need to succeed in an increasingly diversified and complicated management
environment. Entrepreneurship education is vital in an unpredictable climate because it
may help entrepreneurs develop the insights they need to uncover and create
opportunities, as well as the skills they need to establish and manage their own
enterprises . As a result, the institution has stressed the importance of systematic
entrepreneurship education and has assisted in the delivery of professional
entrepreneurship education. Many institutions are also working on a number of

educational initiatives as part of a larger strategy to increase the quality of entrepreneurial
courses and programs while also encouraging student education and learning. Moreover,
they provide a variety of entrepreneurship-related courses and programs in order to
provide students with entrepreneurship inspiration and confidence, as well as a role for
social contribution through entrepreneurship . However, there is still debate concerning
which approaches are effective and which teaching methods are appropriate.
