Purpose – The efficiency of an educational program on entrepreneurial competence, Training the Potential
Entrepreneur. Generation of an Educational Model for Entrepreneurial Identify (PEIEO) is evaluated in
this study.
Design/methodology/approach – Pre and post intervention tests were administered to an Experimental
Group (EG) and a Control Group (CG). Moreover, four hypotheses are proposed (H1, H2, H3, H4) and tested on a
sample of 1036 Spanish students. The following instruments were applied: Attitude Towards
Entrepreneurship-Spanish adaption; Measurement Scale of Personal Initiative in Educational Settings and
Scale of General Self-Efficacy. ANCOVA and the Student’s t-test were applied to the results.
Findings – The results show that training in entrepreneurial identity increases the entrepreneurial potential of
young people (H1). A notable increase in proactivity and being a self-starter was observed with regard to
personal initiative within the EG, and for self-efficacy (H3) both of which were predictors of entrepreneurial
identity. Gender was likewise a predictor (H4).
Practical implications – Young people attending the PElEO training program in entrepreneurial potential
increased their levels of entrepreneurial identity, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the program.
Originality/value – The program (PEIEO) is based on the development of entrepreneurial potential, a
dimension that generates entrepreneurial identity (creativity, leadership, achievement and personal control).
