The Future of Education

Inability to master entrepreneurial competencies can cause entrepreneurs to fail in running their businesses. Therefore, technical entrepreneurs should master entrepreneurial competencies by being able to use their knowledge, attitudes and skills to perform their duties in managing their businesses. The purpose of this study is to identify indicators of entrepreneurial competencies in producing technical entrepreneurs. A systematic review method with 69 references related to entrepreneurial competencies has been used to identify the indicators of entrepreneurial competencies in the development of technical entrepreneurs. The methodology used is made up of a few steps: formulation of the research questions, identification of literature, searching (based on keywords), selection and evaluation of literature, analysis and interpretation of the findings. Based on the review, the combination of entrepreneurial competencies - technical competency, management competency and personal competency play an important role in growing the business because mastering these entrepreneurial competencies can help the technical entrepreneurs to do their job better. The implications of this study are to apply entrepreneurial concepts to assist TVET students in developing and mastering entrepreneurial competencies in line with current needs.

Keywords: entrepreneurial competencies, technical entrepreneur, technical competency, management competency, personal competency.
