This training course is aimed for youth workers, who are working with young people. The main aim of this project is to educate youth workers in the field of entrepreneurship with a focus on SE.
We aim to equip the participants with knowledge of entrepreneurship that they would then pass on to youth.
We would also focus on SE so that with the information on SE and with knowledge and skills on entrepreneurship itself, these youth workers could open their own SE and/or help their organisation follow the SE path.
Through this project we will be giving competencies to youth workers on how to educate young people in starting a business.
