Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs)

Individuals possess different Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs). These PECs include characteristics, attributes, lifestyles, skills, or traits that make a person different from others. When one aligns these competencies with the competencies of successful practitioners/entrepreneurs, he/she may become ready to face the challenges of starting a business.

1. EXPLORE � Ask learners to name people in the nearby community/municipality/city who are successful in establishing their

own computer-related business

• Why are they successful?

• Do you wish to be like them?

� Explain to learners the importance of assessing their PECs.

� Guide learners in assessing their PECs on the following:

• Character/Attribute/Trait

• Lifestyle

• Skills

(Note: Refer to Appendix A, Activity 1 Assessing Ones PECs for a copy of the PECs. This could be reproduced

according to the number of learners in class).

Assist learners in analyzing and interpreting the results of the assessment of their PECs.

� Ask EQ to draw out the initial understanding of learners about how practitioners/entrepreneurs succeed in their

chosen career. The teacher may distribute meta cards for learners to write their answers. These may be posted

on the wall and revisited during the Firming-up.
