The European Training Foundation (ETF) transnational project 'Entrepreneurship in education and training' was implemented in Russia and the Ukraine in 2001-2003. Its overall objective was to develop the vocational education and training (VET) system so that it caters for both wage/salary employment and self-employment, enabling graduates to respond to market demands either as employees or as entrepreneurs. Implementation involved four tasks: (1) development of the entrepreneurial approach in VET; (2) implementation of an entrepreneurial approach in the content of VET and development of the entrepreneurial education process; (3) introduction of the entrepreneurial approach to teachers' training and training and retraining of VET teaching staff; and (4) creation of conditions and opportunities that promote the entrepreneurial initiatives of students and graduates. This final report on the implementation of the project has been written by the Russian and Ukrainian National Project Groups in cooperation with the ETF project manager. It consists of four parts: brief information about the project; major project results and a summary of the key changes and innovations in pilot schools; analysis of the internal project evaluation undertaken by the National Project Groups; overall conclusions and recommendations. Annexes contain detailed documents and materials developed within the framework of the project and published materials.
