The second guideline is to prepare students through exposure to practical activities. They should be able to practice writing business plans, executing projects, or creating small businesses on their own. Thirdly, activities are important for students to express their interests. At the same time, instructors should help pupils analyze and plan their development and career path. The fourth guideline is to establish a good attitude towards being an entrepreneur. Lastly, business case simulation and case studies should be incorporated into classes as teaching materials.
