Student Youth’s Entrepreneurial Attitudes Formation Factors as an Object for Scientific Analysis

In this article, based on quantitative empirical research, the authors consider the degree and nature of the influence of factors of the educational environment of a higher educational institution on the students’ entrepreneurial attitudes. The research, implemented in the pilot format, allows us to conclude that social capital, skills, and competencies acquired during the training as well as intra-university entrepreneurial initiative support programs, have a significant impact on students’ willingness to engage in this type of activity, and on their degree of interest in starting their own business. The authors put forward both a number of preliminary assumptions based on the formulated research hypotheses and recommendations for the administrations in higher educational institutions aimed at developing entrepreneurial competencies and attitudes among students.
