This report summarizes the results of a survey of 22 Portuguese students on their entrepreneurial competencies and skills. It finds that while most students recognize personal strengths like thinking about the future, around half do not see themselves as potential entrepreneurs. The students communicate well in groups and online but are less confident in persuasion. Most see opportunities but have difficulties implementing ideas or solving problems. Students also demonstrate insecurity about risks and responsibilities when projects become difficult. However, they believe this education project will help develop business skills and many would like to start small businesses.

The set of personal characteristics, "think of the future." stands out with 100% of the
answers. Then, with 70% of the anwsers we have the collaboration, efficiency, self-
discipline and recognition of strengths and weaknesses of each individual.
On a lower level, about 50% of students recognized to have leadership skills and be
able to assume an entrepreneurial career.
The less marked skills are disorganization and lack of knowledge of their strengths /
weaknesses.
These results indicate about half of the students who are part of the project does not
recognize yet the advantages of becoming entrepreneurs and consider it a possibility
in the future.

The degree of persuasion of others, 62% of students identified at the level 4.
In the ability to see the positive side of things and explain on it, the results are
divided between 46% (level 4) and 39% (level 3).
These results show that despite the students liked to work in heterogeneous groups
and with different tools they are not always concerned about the positive side of
things, even when they take level 4 in arguing ability and persuasion the others.

Regarding the area of the initiative and opportunities, only 61% of students were
considered as a "self-starter and take iniciative" while 31% could not evaluate this
competence (level 3). It also notes that about 8% of students do not even consider a
'self-starter and take iniciative ".
As the ability "to find solutions to problems" the responses were concentrated in the
affirmative (70% + level 4 level 5). However note that 23% can not assess this
capability or even disagree, not recognizing itself this capacity (8%, level 1).
For the ability to "make good ideas happen" responses were less dispersed at about
70% agreed and the remaining 30% did not have any idea about it. Similarly, the
ability to "be able to improve the ideas of others" 70% agreed and the remaining 30%
did not know.
Contrary to previous results, the ability "to see the opportunity for new things" 38%
students agreed (level 4) and 62% strongly agreed (level 5).
In this set of results we can infer that although students consider to be creative (new
ideas, see the opportunity of things) they suggest it difficult to put them into practice
and that in general they can not directly solve the problems of day to day.

On risk taking and sense of responsibility, the results indicate that most students 54%
would choose to leave and abandon one project rather than face the difficulties as
well as 39% of students would not wish to take risks ..
These results contradict somehow the extremely positive results in the "sense of
responsibility in completing tasks" (93%, level 4 and level 5). And this field "try new
things" was the one that showed very positive levels with 77% of students agree (level
4) and 16% of students strongly agree (level 5).
About these results, we can infer that the students demonstrated insecurity when
jobs / projects have difficulties maybe with a tendency to leave. But they continue to

100%) that this project will be useful to acquire knowledge and skills in development
of a business idea and at last they would like to start a small business.
