Enterprise your daily life!

In a constantly changing environment, having entrepreneurial skills is an essential part of being able to meet the challenges of everyday life. The dramatic changes in global economies over the past years have been matched with the transformation in technology and all these have an impact on education, the workplace, our home and our social life. To cope with the increasing pace and change of modern life, young people need entrepreneurial skills such as flexibility, taking initiatives, assertiveness, self-awareness and many more. These skills can not only boost their personal, professional and socio-economical development but also, reduce, or even eliminate youth unemployment, and raise both the social inclusion and the quality of life of young people. Realising how important entrepreneurial skills are, youth workers need to know how to support young people in developing them. A youth worker is expected to possess a set of methods and tools in order to facilitate the development of these skills. Youth workers need to be equipped with the appropriate knowledge, information and tools and this training has been set up to support youth workers in this. If you are a youth worker who wants to know how to support young people develop and use their entrepreneurial skills, then this training will be very useful for you. Aim: This TC aims at strengthening the capacity of youth workers in developing the entrepreneurial potential of young people, as to enable them to adopt a proactive approach in their personal, civic and professional life.
