Student Ji Moumou successfully joined the work after graduating from technical secondary school. But in September of the next year, I saw her studying in school again. What happened? In just one year, she experienced the hard work, the cruelty of social competition, the pain of low competitiveness, the difficulty of starting a business, etc., so she eagerly returned to school... When she picked up a book again, she was completely different. After a year of hard work, she got an admission letter from the university, and she experienced the joy of success! What secondary vocational students lack most is probably her experience of working and living outside of school. Entering society after graduation is the beginning of entrepreneurship in life, so it is necessary for secondary vocational students to receive entrepreneurship education and participate in entrepreneurship training in school.

Secondary vocational schools should pay attention to entrepreneurship education

Nowadays, entrepreneurship education in vocational schools has just started. It is basically in the stage of unplanned, unguided and unorganized development, and has not yet formed a complete set of entrepreneurship education. education system. Secondary vocational schools should attach great importance to students' entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial training and treat it as a practical matter.

Secondary vocational schools should pay attention to the entrepreneurship education of students and gradually strengthen the research on student entrepreneurship issues. Schools are like microcosms of society. Although they are not as "sinister and cruel" as the real society, they must definitely abandon simplicity. A pure way of thinking requires students to gradually mature. The more students are wise, the less detours they will take in life. Students must understand that academics are the foundation and entrepreneurship is the depth. After students have good professional skills and basic knowledge, schools should seriously study how to stimulate students' enthusiasm and initiative for entrepreneurship, and how to use the school platform to provide students with training opportunities so that students can get entrepreneurial training as early as possible.

Schools should strengthen entrepreneurship guidance. Secondary vocational students are highly malleable and willing to accept new things. Whether to start a business or not depends on the guidance of the school. Schools should allow students to have a comprehensive understanding of themselves and understand that the prerequisite for entrepreneurship is entrepreneurial spirit, entrepreneurial ability, and the necessary knowledge and professional skills for entrepreneurship. Let students understand that through entrepreneurial training and applying theory to practice, regardless of success or failure, they can recognize their own strengths and weaknesses, set a good direction for the next stage of learning, and directly experience the joy of entrepreneurial success or the pain of failure. Understand the ups and downs of modern professionals. Entrepreneurship training can also enable students to understand the qualities that corporate leaders or employees must possess, including knowledge and skills, management capabilities, entrepreneurial spirit, economic acumen, disciplinary concepts, etc., and accumulate valuable experience for them to truly enter society in the future.

Let students feel the advantages of entrepreneurship training in school. Students can try to start a business in school according to their own strength under the guidance of teachers. Regardless of the scale, as long as they do it in person, no matter whether it is successful or not, it is exercise. . As long as you gain valuable experience and lessons from the experience, and you can continue to work hard on your future entrepreneurial journey and carve out your own world, the purpose of entrepreneurship education will be achieved. On the one hand, students generally do not invest much in starting a business in school. Even if they fail, it is only a failure experience and will not cause great economic losses; on the other hand, students' entrepreneurial projects should be professionally relevant and have relatively low technical content. , less investment, low risk, and high success rate. Therefore, carrying out entrepreneurship training can not only help school students adapt to the corporate environment in advance and understand the cruelty of social competition, but also partially solve the difficulty of school recommendation for employment and appropriately reduce the employment pressure in society.

Providing a platform for students to start their own businesses. Schools should also play an important role in student entrepreneurship education and provide good soil for students' entrepreneurship. Schools should start with professional education, create entrepreneurial platforms, guide students to maintain their studies before starting their own businesses, and use entrepreneurship to drive their studies. As long as students balance the relationship between academics and career, campus and society, entrepreneurship training in school should be supported and promoted. Schools should educate students to establish their own coordinates, choose a path worth taking, and bravely try to make their students' lives exciting and colorful. Just like several student entrepreneurial teams in our school, under the guidance of professional counselors, they have successfully opened student waste recycling companies, student flea markets, student costume performance teams, student supermarkets and other entities. Some students *** also participated. The hard work of these teams has achieved good economic and social benefits. The key is that the students have experienced the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. They made a good start across the school and played a positive role in promoting the learning and entrepreneurship of students across the school. More students intend to participate in entrepreneurial activities on the basis of doing a good job in their own studies, to train themselves and improve themselves. They proposed many projects that could be considered for on-campus entrepreneurship.

Secondary vocational schools should strengthen guidance and services for students’ entrepreneurship

Secondary vocational schools should establish the concept of guidance and service, stimulate students’ interest in entrepreneurship, remove students’ obstacles to entrepreneurship, and lay a solid foundation for Effectively implement entrepreneurship education to facilitate students' entrepreneurial practice and training.

Focus on cultivating students’ entrepreneurial awareness and entrepreneurial spirit. Modern society urgently needs a large number of professional and technical talents with entrepreneurial ability and practical ability. As a bridge between local economy and education, and as a base for shaping and transporting secondary professional and technical workers, secondary vocational schools should give full play to their advantages in majors and skills, vigorously carry out entrepreneurship education, and improve students' entrepreneurial abilities. Campus activities can be used as a carrier to organize and mobilize capable students to participate in entrepreneurial activities, thereby stimulating students' potential for independent entrepreneurship and cultivating students' entrepreneurial awareness and entrepreneurial spirit. For example, the establishment of student science and technology and entrepreneurship clubs and strong support for their entrepreneurial activities, regular school-level entrepreneurship competitions, and various entrepreneurial project training activities.

Train and enrich the team of entrepreneurship guidance teachers. The team of entrepreneurship guidance teachers can be composed of subject departments and management departments. It should be coordinated with professional education to gradually train and improve the level of entrepreneurship guidance teams, and systematically arrange entrepreneurship courses and entrepreneurship education. In the teaching of specialized courses on entrepreneurship, it should be more integrated with professionalism and reality, and highlight the cultivation of students' abilities and qualities. The school should further strengthen its ties with enterprises, invite more successful entrepreneurs to the campus to share their entrepreneurial experience with students, become professional counselors in the school, and improve the level of training.

To strive for support from the government and society and create a good entrepreneurial atmosphere, you can try to win support from multiple parties and set up an entrepreneurial venture fund to help and solve the funding problems in the early stages of students' self-employment, while creating a good entrepreneurial atmosphere.

Treat students’ entrepreneurial failures with a normal mind. One more failure will give students more successful experience. It is necessary to help students understand that entrepreneurship must be carried out within the scope permitted by law; provide them with investment and financial management education so that they understand the operating model of the market economy and help their careers get on the right track quickly and healthily.

Further clarify the purpose and direction of student entrepreneurship. Students’ on-campus entrepreneurship projects should be as relevant as possible to the students’ own majors. For example, those who study art will open an art studio, those who study photography will engage in photography, and those who study computers will engage in computers. Students must understand that the purpose of on-campus entrepreneurship is to exercise, not to make money. Only by combining entrepreneurial training with theory can they adapt to society as quickly as possible. Entrepreneurship education should be allowed to play a positive role in promoting the education and teaching work of schools.

The card of extracurricular education should be played well and the second classroom should be made into the main position of entrepreneurship education. Daily education and entrepreneurship education should be organically combined, the connotation of intermediate internships and on-the-job internships should be expanded, and participation in on-the-job internships should be encouraged. Internship students start their own businesses, integrating entrepreneurship education into intermediate internships and on-the-job internships.

Emancipate your mind and don’t think of student entrepreneurship as too complicated or mysterious. You must make full use of the school’s favorable conditions and related resources to train and guide students to carry out entrepreneurial training activities. The following entrepreneurial projects can be considered based on the actual situation of students' majors: tutoring service center (for outstanding students in cultural classes), conference etiquette services, and preparatory work for book production. For example, students can do topic planning, text entry, layout design, packaging design, proofreading, etc. independently. Various types of graphic design work, such as advertisements, posters, book covers, trademarks, etc., are particularly suitable for interested students. The important thing is to produce their own creative results. Photography studios, wedding makeup, emcee, handmade production, and network maintenance are also good entrepreneurial projects. Many enterprises and institutions rely on computers and networks for their operations. Some have their own dedicated network maintainers, and some use part-time maintainers to save costs and perform maintenance regularly or at any time. Many students are not familiar with the Internet, so they might as well set up a team of experts and do part-time maintenance for several customers at the same time.

Entrepreneurship education in schools should be an indispensable and important component of the normal vocational education system, which can promote the comprehensive and healthy development of vocational education. First of all, entrepreneurship education should be a breakthrough and deepening point for the in-depth development of modern vocational education. It should break the two-dimensional teaching system that focused on knowledge and skills training in the past and improve the cultivation of students' key abilities. Secondly, entrepreneurship education should jump out of the inherent trajectory of campus teaching, fundamentally change the role of students, make students the main body, and change students' learning and training from passive to active. Third, entrepreneurship education and training should allow students to connect "zero distance" with the operating mechanism of modern society. Starting from the specific work of social practice, students can understand the society, plan their lives, and create their own world based on the use of professional skills, and even lay a solid foundation for their entire life in the future. The "Three Entrepreneurship Education" advocated by Jiangsu Province aims at the current serious deficiencies of secondary vocational students in labor discipline, professional skills, innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities, etc. It requires secondary vocational students to receive education and training in entrepreneurship and cultivate students' labor ability. concepts, innovative consciousness, and entrepreneurial spirit, and improve students’ organizational, discipline and teamwork abilities.

Entrepreneurship education has a vast world. As long as vocational education colleagues work together and work together, they will surely find their own way.
