Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Emerging Economies, 2020, vol. 6, issue 2, 329-346

Abstract: Abstract The article presents the results of a survey conducted among colleges and enterprises located in Bac Ninh, Vietnam, with the aim of identifying skills and competencies required by local enterprises versus those that colleges develop and transfer to their students. The final aim is to spot gaps and discrepancies which may help explain the students’ current low level of employability and, consequently, define lines of intervention that may help reduce the gaps. The key finding emerging from the research is the relatively low importance given by colleges to entrepreneurial competencies compared with what enterprises want.
