This discussion paper aims to inspire the introduction of entrepreneurial learning in TVET towards a fully mainstreamed approach, whereby entrepreneurial learning is integrated into the role, function and delivery of TVET systems for the benefit of all learners. It is presented as a modular document, allowing each chapter to also serve as a mini-guide on a specific topic. The paper provides insight into the different approaches to mainstreaming entrepreneurial learning and illustrates the contribution of the key pillars that make up the entrepreneurial learning ecosystem. This is supported by a series of practical examples from TVET systems around the world, illustrating how entrepreneurial learning is being transformed into reality by governments, TVET systems, communities, networks, institutions, teachers, trainers and TVET learners. This paper explores five elements of the entrepreneurial learning ecosystem:1 Developing policy for entrepreneurial learning. 2 Curricula and pedagogies. 3 Supporting teachers and trainers. 4 Learning modes other than formal curricula. 5 Career paths and start-ups.
