The COWLECTIVE project promotes social inclusion by providing tools to VET teachers addressing entrepreneurs so that their projects have a positive social impact, encouraging them to become social entrepreneurs.
The first pillar of this project refers to the definition of the competences that entrepreneurs need in a European framework to properly configure and implement their business with a positive social impact and to achieve the desired profile of an efficient and qualified entrepreneur.
For this, European research was conducted among 5 European countries: Denmark, Spain, Italy, Greece and Poland between January and March 2021.
This report is a public document that is aimed at supporting VET trainers in their educational practice, in the first instance. Thanks to the main findings of this report, we expect VET teachers, trainers to engage with potential entrepreneurs or assess already established entrepreneurs and co-workers, to gain a better understanding of the existing training needs in the social entrepreneurship field. We also expect entrepreneurs and wannabe entrepreneurs themselves to raise awareness about their training needs. In this report, trainers will be able to get a general overview and detailed information, country per country and skill by skill, about the different competences that entrepreneurs and teachers themselves consider as key to successful entrepreneurship, and the main needs related to social entrepreneurship education. Rather than being a static tool, this innovative report allows you not only to view the graphs but also to interact with the data by filtering it. This makes it easier to discuss in the VET sector, while also having the possibility to compare cultural differences.
