About the Project
We mean serious business
Ent-teach stimulates entrepreneurship teaching at vocational colleges and incubators by providing teachers/trainers with practical materials and tools to educate, inspire and motivate students for entrepreneurship. Students will be made aware of the possibilities to actually pursue a career as an entrepreneur and learn along the way.
About the project and its products
On the www.ent-teach.eu platform there are 7 units available in 5 languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, Polish and Greek.
All 7 units are supported by practical learning activities, videos, case studies and self-assessment questions to be used by the teacher/trainer.
Ent-teach relates to the early phase of company creation: idea generation, opportunity recognition. It makes young potential entrepreneurs understand that everything can be a business. It also provides practical guidelines for market analysis, financial management, IPR and exit strategies.
The materials are aimed at the vocational school teacher/trainer to be used in and outside the class room to engage students and to encourage them to pursue a career as an entrepreneur. Incubators could apply the materials to their vocational (level) pre-start-ups.
