Generation of an Educational Model for Entrepreneurial Identify (PEIEO) is evaluated inthis study.Design/methodology/approach – Pre and post intervention tests were administered to an ExperimentalGroup (EG) and a Control Group (CG). Moreover, four hypotheses are proposed (H1, H2, H3, H4) and tested on asample of 1036 Spanish students. The following instruments were applied: Attitude TowardsEntrepreneurship-Spanish adaption; Measurement Scale of Personal Initiative in Educational Settings andScale 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 ofyoung people (H1). A notable increase in proactivity and being a self-starter was observed with regard topersonal initiative within the EG, and for self-efficacy (H3) both of which were predictors of entrepreneurialidentity. Gender was likewise a predictor (H4).Practical implications – Young people attending the PElEO training program in entrepreneurial potentialincreased 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, adimension that generates entrepreneurial identity (creativity, leadership, achievement and personal control).
