Course description

Having and entrepreneurial mind is important for everyone. Most notably, it is important for those who are planning a new venture creation. In an ever changing world, it is also important for intrapreneurs who work for organisations. Similarly, it is useful for those who need to transform ideas into value-adding products or services through creativity and innovation.

For example, teachers, non-teaching administrative staff, school leaders and trainers need to identify and address the current and future expressed and unexpressed needs of their students, course participants, etc. Meanwhile, students and alumni need an entrepreneurial mindset in order to motivate themselves. Likewise, they need to focus their learning and continuous professional development towards their career goals.

Moreover, we argue that these are not only about what you do (technical execution), but it is also about how you think. This course teaches you to re-frame your thinking to maximize your chances for success.

  • Firstly, have a market orientated attitude
  • Spot and act upon opportunities

Erasmus Training Courses Entrepreneurship. Course highlights

The course is provided by TEAM4Excellence, who is specialised in business and entrepreneurship training and consulting.

Before applying under Key Action 1, schools and adult education organisations must develop a European Development Plan. This plan is part of the application form. It outlines the needs of the institution/organisation in terms of quality development and internationalisation, and how their planned European activities will meet those needs.

In conclusion, the purpose of the European Development Plan is to ensure that the planned activities are relevant both for the individual participants and for the organisation as a whole. That is because activities have a higher impact on the quality of teaching and learning when they are well-integrated in the organisation’s strategic development.
