Work nowadays is more than ever linked to entrepreneurship as the act of creating a business while building and scaling it to generate a profit, but mainly transforming the world by solving big problems, like initiating social change, creating an innovative product or presenting a new life-changing solution.

The Tools that Stood Out

Entrepreneurial Competence

We live in a rapidly changing society where it is essential for your learners and everybody to have the capacity to act upon opportunities and ideas, to work with others, to manage dynamic careers and shape the future for the common good. For this reason the European Commission has developed EntreComp: the European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework as a reference framework to explain what is meant by an entrepreneurial mindset.

Creativity

An Entrepreneur must be at all times creative in order to ensure that the business they are going to start is something new that the general public will be drawn to and actually fills in existing gaps of the current entrepreneurial sphere. To do that one can start tackling their creativity in multiple ways. We propose the use of “Storybird” with your learners as a way to get them create their own stories with the objectives to find what truly matters to them and make it into a succesful business idea!!

Team work

In the business world we often hear only of the initiator and people tend to think that one alone can create a successful business. This is far from true!!! For a business to be successful an entrepreneur must have cultivated their team work as much as they cherish their idea, or even more. To help your learners work as a team we propose you use “PurposeGames”. Purpose games make it possible to create game strategies and apply them to other areas (such as the development of team work skills). The aim is to ensure active learning and to improve the evaluation of the person taking part, without them giving up or losing motivation.

Learning to learn

Finally a business will never be sustainable if the entrepreneurs do not have the ability to grow and learn. The business world changes as much as any other with huge steps. Following up to date courses and learning new ways of seeing the world around you is crucial. Through Udemy, the online learning Platfrom, you can either create new courses for your students or just get them in the mindset that there is always something new to learn out there!!

MARKETING

It goes without saying that business and marketing are two fronts of the same coin!! For better or for worse you cant have a successful image without creating a powerful and atttractive brand. A brand includes from the choice of your logo, to the language a business uses to adress the public, to the way the business is advertised. Biteable can be a really useful and challenging tool to get your learners into promoting their brand. Brand will help them make high quality videos to sell their idea through creating content in minutes

Tips for Work Trainers!!

At all times you must remember that above all you are the trainer! In order to maximise the potential of these tools, don’t forget to:

  1. Help learners build confidence and increase self-esteem by recognizing them for their efforts.
  2. Give your learners constructive error feedback and help them to learn from it.
  3. Help your learners to become independent learners, by giving them the necessary study strategies.
