In a world that is constantly changing and evolving, where technology and the economic environment are in constant dynamics, entrepreneurship education is becoming more and more vital to prepare young people for success in life and in the labor market. Today, not only technical knowledge is enough to successfully navigate the business world, but also entrepreneurial skills and initiative are equally important. Entrepreneurship is a key driver of today’s economy. This observation underlines the need to ensure an adequate entrepreneurial education, in accordance with the requirements of the labor market. The purpose and role of this experience is to educate students to understand entrepreneurial activity, to develop their entrepreneurial skills and competencies, and the intention to run a business. The learning environment is crucial for a successful entrepreneur, and it can generate change. This article describes experiences from the development and use of the entrepreneurship learning environment in high schools with a technological profile. In this study, 1200 students from three technological high schools were observed, and the behavior and the results obtained after studying the specialized economic modules were analyzed. Our goal was to identify the main challenges of these students. In our study, we used a mixed method: questionnaires, theme-based interviews, direct and participatory observation as data collection methods. According to our results, the main challenges were difficulties in understanding new entrepreneurial notions due to traditional teaching methods, lack of ICT skills, absence of team learning principles, and ineffective communication within a group.
