As stressed in the Europe 2020 Strategy, E&T systems should focus their curricula on creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. A vision of fostering creativity and innovation is needed that focuses on individuals within modernized, excellent and high quality VET systems.At the same time, education for entrepreneurship, meaning a sense of initiative, ability to turn ideas into practice, creativity and self-confidence, should be encouraged and accessible to initial and continuous VET students, promoting entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors among them.To make success the Lisbon Strategy for growth and employment, Europe needs to stimulate the entrepreneurial mindset among people, promoting innovative business, and fostering a culture of entrepreneurship. It should incise in the training to ensure that the educational systems provide key competences for the emergence of new entrepreneurs or even engender an entrepreneurial culture within the SME to face the new demands of skills due to the globalization and increased international trade demands.According to data of the report published by the Eurobarometer Entrepreneurship in the EU and beyond in September 2009, there are differences between European countries in relation to the role of education in the promotion of the Entrepreneurship. The 44% and 53% in United Kingdom and Spain were in agreement to assert that the education received in schools had positively influenced the development of the key competences as sense of initiative and entrepreneurial mindset, compared with the 33% and 27% in Lithuania and Latvia which were in disagreement. It will, therefore, necessary match and increase these percentages if we want to reach successfully the Lisbon strategy of growth and employment, promote the entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors and engender an entrepreneurial culture within the SME through education and training.Direct target group:- Students of the vocational education and training- Unemployed- Managers, middle managers of SMEs- Workers in SMEs
