The most important objective of the project Coaching Young Entrepreneurs – Providing Support in Making the First Step is to provide non-formal training to youth workers in order to enhance their capacities and skills to be able to motivate youth in taking the initiative of starting its own business and making a positive transition to the work field. The project addresses directly the issues of entrepreneurship, creativity and employability of young people in Europe. The First Step project aims at promoting young people’s commitment towards a more inclusive growth by helping youth workers to become more aware and be able to stimulate young people’s spirit of initiative through useful tools.
The specific objectives of the project are:
- To explore current situation regarding financial crisis and youth unemployment
- To search the legal framework of youth entrepreneurship in partner countries
- To create a strong and sustainable network of partners and associated partners
- To train youth on entrepreneurship concept and principles
- To promote youth entrepreneurship on local and European level
- To increase the knowledge, skills and capacities of the partners to support youth entrepreneurs even after the project is over
The methodology that will be used during TC is based in non-formal and informal training methods utilizing what Mezirow called Transformational Learning.
