The entrepreneurial theories and practical experiences are combined to provide more comprehensive and structured learning courses for entrepreneurial students. In the contemporary social environment, innovation and entrepreneurship have become vital economic engines. Consequently, it is crucial to cultivate entrepreneurialism and entrepreneurial skills in students. Students and faculty in Taiwan’s higher education system have access to a plethora of excellent learning platforms where they can acquire a vast array of practical knowledge and skills.
