Project Summary

Research centres as well as counselling and work support institutions agree that there exist some common needs at European level related to entrepreneurship learning opportunities that are not sufficiently addressed. First the lack of a learning approach that is flexible enough to fit to all the different entrepreneurial casuistic existing and at the same time, exhaustive or comprehensive enough to cover all entrepreneurial competencies in an efficient way. Secondly, there is a lack of European standard tools for the diagnosis / recognition and validation of knowledge, skills and competences of potential entrepreneurs.

In that sense F3E intends to promote, by means of the active co-operation between 4 educational and entrepreneurship support institutions, the promotion of a new European innovative approach towards adult education entrepreneurship promotion (diagnosis, objectives, trainingmaterials and evaluation) that will help to secure accurate entrepreneurship support for people leading towards their employment and job creation.

The main aim of the project is to design and profuselly test a joint methodology within AE providers which will allow, on the one hand, the diagnosis and assessment of the entrepreneurship capabilities of individuals and, on the other hand, to share and develop a comprehensive series of actions (training modules) that respond to the needs identified and, thus, contribute to foster the provision of key competences to entrepreneurs and to improve the links between education and training and the success within the world of work.
The working methodology will benefit all involved parts since will become a mechanism for knowledge and research carried out within educational institutions to enhance the quality and relevance of the learning offer with their own staff and trainees and, on the other hand, trainees will have at their disposal a Entrepreneurial Kit for the improvement of their entrepreneurial capabilities.

For these objectives to be achieved, the following activities will be carried out:
– Development of a (auto)diagnosis tool for the analysis of the entrepreneurship capabilities of trainees An online platform will be produced to facilitate interaction, improve ICT skills and disseminate and attract potential entrepreneurs to this first step of diagnosis.
– Test the diagnosis tool. Each partner institution will select a sample of 10 members of staff or trainees that will be the target for the testing.
– Individual identification of main shortcomings and weaknesses that need to be addressed.
– Share and design a whole set of methodologies and training contents to map all the diagnosis areas. It will be composed of a core curriculum that will contain training objectives, contents and methods.
– Test of a personalized learning path made up of different modular training contents to address the particular shortcomings identified by the diagnosis tool.
– Release of the Entrepreneurial KIT encompassing the diagnosis tool and the modular training programme as an Open Educational Resource (OER) on the online workspace for everyone to access it.
