Entrepreneurship Education Prospects in The Public-Private Partnership System

Abstract

High social instability, economic variability and business activity of students confirm the relevance of the development of a new entrepreneurship education system aimed at public-private partnerships and financing new business projects. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the prospects for the entrepreneurship education development in the public-private partnership system. Retraining of personnel focused on the development of new professional competencies in the context of transformation can improve entrepreneurship education, which plays an important role in publicprivate partnership. An effective regional partnership between entrepreneurial universities and technology parks, business centers and venture investors affects the prospect of attracting investment in new innovative projects. Joint implementation of regional projects and development programs is a prerequisite for the mutually beneficial cooperation between government institutions and the private sector. A survey of 3,000 students revealed that 45% of students indicated self-employment as the root motive for starting a business. It was also found that 52.3% of students do not have enough knowledge to raise funds through public-private partnerships at the initial stage of starting their own business activity. The results obtained will allow us to create an effective state strategy of the education system aimed at the development of relevant entrepreneur training courses and establishing public-private partnerships with universities in Kazakhstan.
