Appetite for entrepreneurship education (EE) among vocational students has surged dramatically, driven by persistent challenges of unemployment. As a result, institutions are increasingly focused on how much exposure receive, particularly frequently instructors impart core business knowledge and skills to meet growing demand. However, despite this focus, existing measures primarily assess the overall impact EE gathering self-reported data student attitudes with specific metrics frequency these vital competencies still lacking. To address gap, Vocational Education Entrepreneurship Knowledge Skills (VEEKS) Scale been developed extent that technical training (TVET) provide regarding entrepreneurial competencies. This scale focuses specifically essential soft crucial success. With total sample size 446, an EFA (n = 180) CFA 266) determined was acceptable model measuring VEEKS exposure. Contributing theory, measure shifts focus in literature from key competencies—knowledge skills. By moving beyond attitude-based assessments, provides valuable practical insights TVET institutions, supporting curriculum reform, instructor training, strategic marketing.

This study focuses on evaluating modular house construction projects, which is a critical segment within sustainable building practices. Despite the significant advantages of construction, such as enhanced resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact, existing research often overlooks its unique attributes constraints. Our objectives were to identify crucial parameters for comprehensive evaluation particularly emphasizing sustainability, explore how an advanced conversational AI tool, ChatGPT, can assist in assessments. We employed Delphi method define these integrated ChatGPT develop robust assessment methodology. approach allowed us harness AI-driven insights enrich process. findings suggest that delivers high-quality results comparable those produced by experts formulated detailed description scale each criterion, effectively outlining guidelines projects. To illustrate effectiveness our proposed methodology, we applied it real-world project Lithuania, demonstrating this significantly contribute advancing
