Abstract

More and more young people are faced with the problem of how to obtain their first job. Economic conditions and environment in their home country can not offer suitable conditions for the use of their knowledge and providing employment. By the general data more and more are increasingly choosing to go abroad, where they see opportunities to develop their career. One of the reasons is certainly the ongoing economic crisis, which hit our country and in short we do not see a drastic change for the better. Therefore, in surveyed we wanted to check how many young people that studies still has the desire and interest in establishing their own businesses or to show entrepreneurial intention in terms of employment in innovative businesses that would be willing to support the development of their business ideas. In this case, within the framework of the study program, we encourage young people to develop entrepreneurial ideas, involve in cooperation with companies to understand the situation of enterprises, they develop relevant competences and skills, and they also focus on possible solutions to their problems with employment. Of course, often in many companies, for which they write the project, pretty good job opportunities because companies are willing to accept the suggested solutions and give them the opportunity to implement them in practice. Research has shown that the entrepreneurial intention of second-year students is greater than the average expected ratings, but in our opinion, the biggest problem is how to ensure adequate resources with which could take up their own enterprise. It should be noted that they are aware of entrepreneurial risk and are willing to accept, but at the time it was subjected to many risks, however, are suitable to adopt , but if you are unable to implement their own enterprise. Confirmation of predictions to address the opportunities and challenges arising probably from the fact, that they do not see other opportunities to advance their careers, so they are aware that they must be more flexible. The questions that we ask, are the following: How to provide them opportunities and possibilities to create their own enterprise? What is that, what would be an additional incentive to take action to implement its own enterprise? How could we adapt a supportive environment to better support of good ideas for undertakings? ... It will require a systematic approach to activities to promote entrepreneurship and thus providing opportunities for young graduates. We must be aware that otherwise acquired knowledge in the case of departure abroad, will to take with them, and there successfully develop their skills, while the products with high added value in which their knowledge, sold in the country. This last is worth considering mainly because, the value added per employee in our country is below the average of developed countries, in the current situation caused by the economic crisis, this ratio even worsens.
