EntreCom4ALL - Open resources for ENTREpreneurship COMpetences FOR ALL

"The context of the project is based on the importance of current entrepreneurship, as well as the need for training and development of digital entrepreneurship skills. The entrepreneurship scenario in Europe is subject to dynamic changes as a result of social developments, advances in the field of ICT technologies and how they have influenced our ways of communicating and doing business. For entrepreneurs, this means that they must constantly expand their skills and their knowledge portfolio.EU has been promoting entrepreneurship as a key competence that can boost competitiveness and growth. On the other hand, today, many institutions and individuals around the world share their digital learning resources through the Internet in an open and free way, such as Open Educational Resources (OER).OERs are a relatively new phenomenon that can be seen as part of a greater trend towards openness in education and the democratization of access. The global program aims to provide open access to high-quality educational resources on a global scale in many languages. But OERs must not only be collected and stored, but must also be made useful and visible, a process that requires substantial human work, even if automation can help in the process.This framework combines the use and development of different technologies and products and is intended to manage different entrepreneurship needs in various learning scenarios, for different stakeholders based on the EntreComp framework, launched by the European Commission, to build a bridge between the worlds of education and work, contributing to a better understanding and promotion of business competition in Europe.- Goals:• Establish an innovative method to assess the learning needs of individual users of different learning communities based on their own learning style with personalized training and information itineraries to support the development of the entrepreneurial skills identified, developing a framework of competency assessment, adapting the European standard the ""Entrepreneurship Competence Framework"" (EntreComp) to target groups such as women entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship trainers and young entrepreneurs.• Recommend OER (open educational resources) available in different open repositories, as well as in social networks filtered by the partners' languages ​​through the EntreCom4ALL platform. The platform is multilingual in English, Spanish, Italian and Hungarian, and offers the creation of communities for each of the target groups, to evaluate the OER, access to statistics ... It also allows to share information and opinions on how to reuse resources, with initially 1,500 cataloged resources and access to thousands of resources, users and hashtags from Twitter in relation to entrepreneurship, duly filtered by algorithms designed with the Social Network Analysis technique.- Participants:Technical University of Madrid (Universidad Politécnica deMadrid, UPM) is the project coordinator and the largest and oldest technical university in Spain.Inova Consulting, consultant on entrepreneurship and gender issues.Spanish Confederation of Teaching Centers (CECE)Consorzio Materahub Industrie Culturali e Creative, is an aggregate of people and businessesObúda UNiversity, dynamic institution of higher education in Budapest.- ImpactThe results of the project have had, at its completion, a relevant impact through the activity of the participating organizations themselves, in European degree and master courses, networks of young entrepreneurs, competitions of entrepreneurs in their training stage, training events aimed at women entrepreneurs, and finally in trainers and teachers at different levels of formal and informal education.- Long term benefits:One of the strengths that help the sustainability of the project is that it is based on the European standard of the EntreComp competence framework. It is an opportunity for projects and initiatives that are currently proliferating around this framework. From the self-assessments provided by the EntreCom4ALL platform, the apprentice can become aware of their skills and motivate them and take full advantage of all the resources and features offered to improve their skills. The open educational resources that are registered as part of the project platform also contribute to the sustainability of the project, as they are external resources that will be available and accessible beyond the life of the project. This means that users can continue to use and enjoy the OER entrepreneurs guided by the platform."
