| Description | The system of dual education is regulated by Act No. 61/2015 Coll. about vocational education and training, the aim of which is to facilitate the smooth transition of students from education system to the labor market and to increase the applicability of secondary school graduates on the labor market. This act enables the preparation of students in the dual education system from the 2015/2016 school year, which gives employers the opportunity to prepare a pupil for a precise and specific profession or job position according to their needs and requirements. From the perspective of students, this form of education is an attractive part of the teaching process, when they confront their theoretical knowledge directly with practice. In the current conditions of Slovakia, most companies cooperate with technical vocational schools, but even secondary schools, which are focused on services or economic education, do not lag behind in this trend. In this case, these schools work more with companies that offer entrepreneurship and economic education for students. The acquisition of such skills takes place in secondary schools mainly through training programs aimed at developing entrepreneurial economic skills. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the offer of selected educational programs focused on entrepreneurial - economic skills, which are provided by companies for secondary vocational schools and at the same time their evaluation from the point of view of students and teachers themselves on the example of selected secondary vocational schools in Slovakia. |
