Development of an Entrepreneurship Training Course for Mentors and Pupils
In order to address the needs expressed in this project, the first Intellectual Output was the development of an Entrepreneurship Training Course for Mentors and Pupils with a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) approach.
It was developed according to the needs of pupils with intellectual and developmental difficulties (IDD).
To be able to create a strong and sustainable course we:
- Identified and created tools for mentors that work with this population;
- Developed interactive and visual contents in order to increase students’ motivation;
- Understood the needs of the labour market where our participants can take an important role;
- Developed contents that help strengthening labour skills, both for employment and self-employment.
We assessed the skills with a European Commission tool called “EntreComp: The Entrepreneurship Competence Framework”.
This course was developed in an Innovative and Enhanced way, using various multimedia content (text, images, audio and/or video) using the best practices of accessibility and usability (e.g. HTML5). By using a MOOC approach we ensure an easier way for students to access and use, but also increases the transferability of the contents.
