The main ground for the development of a modern territorial community is the availability of active, initiative, and highly competent members. It is highly professional specialists who create added value in territorial communities and significantly contribute to the revenue of local budgets. For sustainable growth, it is necessary to create and develop a mini ecosystems of entrepreneurship in territorial communities. This will provide opportunities to support self-employment and entrepreneurship of the local population permanently. Strengthening the capacity of local communities through improving the adult education system should be a priority for both the EU and other European countries, since it creates more stability and facilitates the exchange of best practices. The lack of a comprehensive approach to the development of local communities, a particularly important component of which is the creation of opportunities for self-employment and development of entrepreneurial skills among the local population, is a serious problem in regions. Starting and growing your own business is a lifelong process of learning and gaining experience. Self-preparation plays an important role in this process.
