The aim of the paper was to determine the role of VET (Vocational education and training) in development of entrepreneurial competences of students in Osijek-Baranja County. Entrepreneurship education has an effect on the individual receiving it, but it also changes the institution prioritizing it. Both individuals and institutions cause societal and economic change. Given that entrepreneurship profiled into one of the eight competences of lifelong education through research and analysis of the results it was tried to determine to what extent did the secondary education contribute to this process. The survey was conducted among VET students of Osijek-Baranja County in their final year of secondary education by means of ASTEE questionnaire measuring the indicators of entrepreneurial education. The results were as following: a) Higher scores are achieved by students who volunteer, have started an activity and those who are working in addition to going to school b) Students who have someone close to him/her who started a company achieve higher scores c) Entrepreneurial contents in school documents are not reflected in the results of students d) Compared to data gathered from international research, our students gave lower grades to their teachers and schools. It can be concluded that there is a positive correlation between practical extracurricular activities and exposure to entrepreneurs with the results of the survey. On the other hand, such link with the educational system has not been established.
