Project Summary

<< Background >>

The fundamental aim of AHEH is to improve the long-term prospects of our Arts and Humanities graduates and to equip them with the tools and confidence they need to succeed. Through a comprehensive programme of activities, we collaboratively researched a perceived skills gap between academia and business to inform the development and pilot-testing of an innovative training programme, tailored to the specific needs, sensibilities and learning style preferences of HEI arts and humanities students.

<< Objectives >>

1.Better align HEI entrepreneurship training to EntreComp. Create a training programme to up-skill HEI staff, embed delivery & translation within Arts & Humanities (A&H) faculties via dedicated Hubs2.Foster business/HEI collaboration to meet stakeholder needs, improve understanding of entrepreneurship & expand knowledge exchange & RD&I. 3.Foster business innovation through engagement with A&H students4.Develop & mentor A&H students through AHEH 5.Improve student entrepreneurial ability

<< Implementation >>

Research to ensure alignment with training needs specific to A&H. Inc. surveys, literature review, case studies & interviews. This informed the development of AHEH challenge-based training programme, reflecting preferred active learning style identified. Partners collaborated with stakeholders to film challenges for learners. Training was pilot-tested & evaluated at national & EU level to enable further refinement. Enterprise partner engagement was invaluable to give ‘in the moment’ feedback.
