“Blow up the Preconceived Notion that University is a Place to Learn.” Socializing Students to Entrepreneurship Over the past ten years or so, a growing number of schemes and courses have been introduced in higher education to raise awareness or train students in the “spirit of entrepre- neurship.” Through an analysis of the pedagogical practices and conceptions conveyed by this project for the socialization of youth, this article proposes to shed light on certain uphea- vals at work in the educational field. In particular, it examines the challenges of the valori- sation of “soft skills,” which is at the heart of the training courses studied. While the promotion of these “behavioural skills” or other soft skills may be appropriate from different perspectives, the article shows that it is primarily involved in a form of destabilization of the university’s mission in terms of knowledge transmission, in favour of a shaping of personalities carried out with reference to the norms and values of the corporate world.
