Abstract

The chapter aims to determine whether entrepreneurial self-efficacy is developed in students participating in a social enterprise module and how this affects their career intentions. The assessment measures were intended to estimate the students’ sense of personal competence in both general skills and their understanding of and capacity to undertake entrepreneurship; ask questions about their envisaged career path; and examine the frequency of behaviours believed to herald entrepreneurship, before and after taking the module. The results show that taking the module affected self-efficacy but not intent. Based on the findings, the implications for educational policy are discussed.
