Sažetak
Entrepreneurship and innovativeness have been accepted as one of the eight key competences necessary for all members of knowledge-based societies. Although these competences should be developed from the kindergarten, universities still have a major role in initiating, supporting and creating entrepreneurial education. However, many studies have shown the inability of universities to change and create programs that can produce skills and knowledge needed to overcome ever-increasing levels of complexity and insecurity. There is, now more than ever, a need for evaluation of available educational programs, which should result in a change in pedagogical methods and traditional roles of teachers as educators. According to the Budapest Agenda, it is important to innovate and improve teaching methods and to develop a relationship with local community for stronger linkage between teachers and the "real world". Thus, two factors are equally important for the success of entrepreneurial education process and better employability of students: the new role of the teacher - the facilitator's role, and the reflective "do-learn-think behaviour principle” for the students. The paper aims to explore extracurricular activities as a “do-learn-think” principle that improves students’ employability. Also, the role of teachers, which should be both mentors and educators, will be reassessed in the paper. The paper describes the case of the Faculty of Economics in Osijek at the J.J. Strossmayer University of Osijek as a leading institution in this region in supporting extracurricular activities.
