Support for entrepreneurial thinking at secondary schools is becoming an increasingly important part of vocational education. As part of the activities of school-based entrepreneurship centers, a number of interesting events took place in recent weeks that help students develop their ideas, economic thinking, and planning skills.
At the Secondary School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, early June featured presentations of student business plans. Students who had been working on their projects long-term had the opportunity to present their companies to consultants. They focused not only on the feasibility of their ideas but also on economic aspects, budgeting, and analytical perspectives on business. This experience gave them valuable insight into what the entrepreneurial process really involves—from the initial idea to a realistic evaluation of its viability.
At the Grammar School and Secondary School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, a lecture titled “Taxes? How to Handle Them?” was delivered by tax advisor Dušan Dobiáš. The discussion centered on current topics such as tax optimization, audits, and the criminal liability of entrepreneurs. For students, it was not only theoretically useful but also practically applicable—especially for those considering entrepreneurship or financially responsible careers.
At the Secondary School of Civil Engineering in Havířov, May’s workshop addressed a less discussed but very important topic: Entrepreneurship Workshop. Students could consult with expert Míša Pawerová and get feedback on their ideas or receive guidance on analytical components and budgeting. The workshop also opened up an important conversation about balancing work effort with mental well-being.
At Zengrova Secondary School, a May webinar titled “How to Manage Chaos: Project Management in the Business World” introduced students to the fundamentals of project management, crisis communication, and strategic planning—skills that are now essential not only for entrepreneurs but also for most managerial and professional careers.
