1. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 1 Synergies between upper secondary and vocational college Entrepreneurship education at the Commercial College Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg

2. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 2 Upper secondary school (Wirtschaftsgymnasium) Students: 16 – 20 years Three years 5 days from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Final exam: university admittance (A-levels) Centralized examinations (state) Main subject: business administration

3. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 3 Vocational school Member of staff (import / export trade) Students: 18 to 22 years 2 or 2,5 or 3 years 2 days at school, 3 days with their companies On-the-job training Valuable members of staff for the companies Aim: commercial employees

4. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 4 Entrepreneurship education Upper sec. school Lots of theoretical input No practical experience Rather poor results Vocational college Experience in business life Low theoretical skills Rather poor results

5. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 5 Why? Reasons? What can we do? Where to begin?

6. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 6 Worst case - headstand No money No expertise No interest ? ? ?

7. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 7 Upper secondary school Enough money Expertise Students and the public are interested Resistance: not part of the curriculum, no time, students need good results to enter university Many offers Companies (head hunting interests) State (further ed.) Political parties

8. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 8 Vocational college Just opposition and resistance, too The companies prefer employees and not entrepreneurs No additional competitors School is serving the company´s interests Some offers Chamber of Commerce Administration

9. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 9 Possible synergies Students with theoretical skills (business administration) Many offers from companies and society Teachers working at both schools in the same building transfering knowledge  Students with practical skills and experiences  Some offers (Chamber of Commerce)

10. W. Maass – Am Laemmermarkt Hamburg 10 Results – unique or transferable? 1. Synergies by using offers and support of different institutions for both schools (more expertise) 2. Let teachers do their job at both schools 3. Let the students of different schools get to know each other (shadowing), work together in common projects, join entrepreneurship competitions...
