General Introduction
Entrepreneurship among migrants must be seen as a new arena for social, economic and political action. Many governments are therefore trying to actively promote entrepreneurship through various forms of support. But it’s not up to the governments… It’s up to you !
The Young Migrant Entrepreneurs (YME) project has produced a guide for young entrepreneurs. Within the EU, young migrants represent an important pool of potential entrepreneurs, but can face, as other more vulnerable groups, specific legal, cultural and linguistic obstacles. We have addressed these issues in such a complete way as possible to support the young entrepreneur whenever and where ever we can.
Fortunately there are a lot of initiatives in the EU that are supporting young migrant entrepreneurs, but we believe that this YME Guide is added value with all its tips and tricks. Check it out !
Learning independently can be challenging, even for the brightest and most motivated young entrepreneur. We have built this YME Guide around the four key stages to independent learning, known as self-directed learning:
* Are you ready and motivated to learn and work hard to be an entrepreneur?
* Setting entrepreneur goals
* Engaging in the entrepreneurial process; and
* Evaluating entrepreneurial learning.
Why do we need an Entrepreneurial Learning Guide for Young Migrants?
An Entrepreneurial Learning Guide for Young Migrants is needed, because:
● It will be available to young migrants whenever they need it;
● It is a reference base for all entrepreneurial learning sessions;
● It systematizes the skills and knowledge about entrepreneurship adapted to the considered educational segment;
● It allows comparing experiences between project partners.
How will this be delivered?
The Entrepreneurial Learning Guide will be delivered as a printed brochure, as downloadable file and as a mobile application.
