The relevance of the problem is since in the state there was a need to create educational programs aimed at the creation of the proper level of entrepreneurial competencies, required to organise their own small or medium businesses. The aim is to investigate the efficiency of the educational program “Bastau Business” in the formation of entrepreneurial competencies, contextualized by existing theories and the changing demands of Kazakhstans innovation-driven economy. The leading method to study this problem is the questionnaire method, which allows for monitoring the formation of professional entrepreneurial competencies among the graduates of the educational program and to identify the problems they face at the beginning to improve the content and focus of the educational modules. The study showed a high readiness of the graduates of the programme for further independent entrepreneurial activities, which unequivocally indicates its effectiveness.
