Abstract
Teachers have a crucial role in entrepreneurship education, however, until now little is known about their roles and competencies. In this review paper we describe the profile of the entrepreneurship teacher in higher education. A literature search was conducted and policy documents of Dutch universities and of the initial teacher-training program at Utrecht University were studied, as were EU policy documents on entrepreneurship teacher education programs. This review study resulted in a set of competencies and roles for entrepreneurship teachers. Dilemmas were raised by these roles and competences: between the entrepreneurial role of the teacher and his role as a coach, and between the entrepreneurial attitude and venturing (starting a business), where boundary crossing makes the difference.
