Teaching Entrepreneurship through E-learning: The Implementation in Schools of Social Sciences and Humanities in Greece

Vassilis Kefis and Panagiota Xanthopoulou

International Journal of Sciences, 2015, vol. 4, issue 08, 17-23

Abstract: In a constantly changing environment young people in Greece face the dilemma to search for career opportunities abroad, or to work in Greek private or public sector. Since unemployment is growing and the labor market gets more pretentious, people obtain more diplomas to become more competitive and appropriate for market’s needs. Additionally, job providers claim that they cannot find workforce with real knowledge on organization needs (“skills gap†phenomenon). This knowledge is a privilege of business or economic schools. On the other hand Social and Humanities Schools do not provide such courses so it becomes more difficult for their graduates to be absorbed by the labor market. In order to maintain university’s curriculum and provide students with further practical skills, e-learning as a supplementary tool could be an aid for those who want to start their own business or for those who aim to be the future, competitive workforce.
