Abstract

The paper will illustrate the results of the empirical research “Entrepreneurial Aspirations of the Vocational High School Students” with special reference to the reasons for starting own business, perception of own constraints and environmentrelated constraints as well as perception of necessary requirements and support. The research was carried out in June 2012 on a sample of 300 students selected in three vocational high schools: School of Economics and Trade in Kikinda, “Uroš Predić” Chemical Engineering, Food and Textile Industry School and “23.maj” Technical School in Pančevo. The test methods, statistical methods and benchmarking method have been applied during the research. The following assumptions have been made: a) the underlying motive of the students who participated in the research for starting their own business is of financial nature; b) the surveyed students do not plan to start running their own business in the near future; c) the greatest support when starting business is expected from parents. The obtained data have been processed by applying the statistical methods.
