Abstract :
Nowadays, due to lack of the necessary grounds to employ University graduates as also well as their inability to create opportunities and careers for themselves, the problem of employment and entrepreneurship has become an important issue, which can lead to the formation of different crisis and social damages, thereby requiring deeper examination. One of the suitable and sure ways to solve this problem is to enable them to acquire job creating skills during their studies at University, this ability can prevent many problems and challenges. However, because of some problems and defects in the curricula of University and other higher education centers, students cannot acquire the skills in this regard. With regard to the importance of the problem, we have tried to investigate the shortcomings of the curricula of the different courses in the Bonab branch of Islamic Azad University from the viewpoints of the students and the academic staff. The result obtained from the analyzing of the collected data indicated that the curriculum of entrepreneurship lacks proper quality and is not capable of training competent, creative, and innovative entrepreneurs. Finally, on the basis of the scientific fundamentals in the field, we have suggested the curriculum of entrepreneurship to be implemented in Universities and higher educational centers.
