Strategic Objective The strategic objective of the project is to set-up a system to identify, promote and accompany young people in their entrepreneurship process, improving their initiatives, potentialities, knowledge and skills, and assuring the major success in the process and the results. The system has been applied through a common YoPeVa Entrepreneur guide and resources to promote active entrepreneurship among young people, prioritizing social innovation as a means of employment in the future, transferring key competencies to them and facilitating support and accompaniment during the process of creating and starting their initiative. Specific Objectives The specific objectives of the project, linked to the results to be produced, are: a. to develop a set of methodologies, based in and adapted to the needs of the target groups, to work with young people promoting and developing their entrepreneurship potential, capabilities and skills. b. to produce a set of training systems and materials to be integrated as different Courses addressed to the different target groups. c. to define and put in place a entrepreneurship support systems to be used by professionals and to benefit young peopleg at two levels: at local/regional and EU
Entrepreneurship in the young people, based in the promotion of their self-initiative and capacities, especially linked to the start-up of an economic initiative, is not an easy issue in any way. If the target groups are young people in potential exclusion risk or, at least, without a sound basic education and training, become near the impossibility. And this situation is not very much better working with any other groups of young people. Starting-up is not currently an option for the majority of the young people… even because the knowledge and skills to facilitate it are not addressed in the traditional and regular curricula. In this context is clear the need to have an integral path, from an early stage of the young people (15-16 years old), creating and promoting motivation, initiative and self-confidence, facilitating community initiatives and other social actions, to an stage where the young are fully developed and trained (28-29 years old) and capable of launching a business.
