Training Course “Digital Technology Entrepreneurship”

Digital Technology Entrepreneurship is an international project that aims to “equip” youth workers with a set of ICT skills needed to work on personal development in the fields of self-employment opportunities and digital entrepreneurship. The project will consist of a short preparatory online e-course, training course activity and multiplication educational workshops in all partner organisations’ local communities.

How will the TC look like?

The whole programme of the TC will be developed based on non-formal education and learning by doing methods. The first part (3 working days) of the TC will serve as some kind of the ice-breaker, will enable participants to meet each other, get introduced with Youthpass certificate and E+ programme, to create their own and group learning expectations, observe possible challenges and obstacles they might face during the activity, but also their contributions to the TC topics, and finally share realities about youth (digital) entrepreneurship and youth unemployment in their countries. The second unit will concentrate more on TC activity’s general topics. Participants will already start discussing new era entrepreneurship, IT sector, digital companies, benefits and risks of digital workplaces, and similar. In the final part, participants will work on developing multiplication educational workshops in local communities during the follow-up period and will have time for final consultations with trainers and among each other.

In preparation for the training course, selected participants will be invited to take part in a preparatory online learning course in duration of 2 hours. Online learning course will serve as a preparation of participants ensuring all of the selected participants have the same basic and starting knowledge; that will be later improved and actually serve as a base for sessions and workshops implemented during training course activity.

Project objectives are:

1.) Strengthening of cooperation between all partners involved in this project
2.) Empowering youth workers and building their competencies for the development of youth work programmes for digital
entrepreneurship start-up and for adapting of existing enterprises to the digital revolution
3.) Building capacities of all active youth workers in partner organizations in digital entrepreneurship through educational

4.) Developing further European level partnerships on the topic of digital entrepreneurship
5.) Developing a quality basis for knowledge management and improving the general capacities of all partners
