EntreComp defines entrepreneurship in an expanded dimension and common language. It is a
broad concept, so in addition to its application toward starups, the EntreComp framework is
valuable for lifelong learning, individual growth and enhanced employability. While EntreComp
can be applied to starting an entrepreneurial venture startup, working environments can embrace
the spirit of entrepreneurship through EntreComp training in order to allow a company to create
or invent products and services that complement core business offering, innovate or utilize
technology more efficiently. When combined with inquiry-based learning, education systems
can infuse EntreComp into any discipline or subject matter to improve learning outcomes,
bolster knowledge deepening and help their students acquire skills that will propel them
throughout the education continuum and into the workforce. Retirees can apply EntreComp
toward becoming entrepreneurs or use their extensive experience, expertise and background
in volunteering to help others become entrepreneurs. The public sector can offer EntreComp
training to employees and section/department heads to promote the development of entrepre-
neurship skills in the workplace to overcome common challenges, to transform operations with
SMART technologies and to support the process of becoming a resilient community. Friends
and families can come together to engage in an entrepreneurial venture to create a needed
product or service for a market niche.
Why does EntreComp matter?
An important objective in conducting EntreComp training is enabling individuals to transform
ideas and opportunities into products and services of societal value by applying entrepreneurship
principles toward addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (i.e. the
SDGs or Global Goals). The Global Goals are inter-related and intertwined with economic development, job creation and improved living conditions that are also the ultimate objectives
of EntreComp Education & Training.
Community
Of Practice
We have embraced EntreComp
as a foundational basis for
entrepreneurship education and
training, to translate the concept
of “entrepreneurship” into a model
with which it is possible to speak
about entrepreneurship in all its
dimensions in a universal way.
Our modus operandi is to form consortia of competent
partners able to engage in a range of calls and requests
for proposals.
COVID has shown us how urgent the need is for communities to become more resilient in responding to societal transitions.
The first six months of the pandemic were a test of true ingenuity as millions of educators across the world, from pre-K to
graduate school, scrambled to continue fulfilling their teaching mandates when schools closed and social distancing was
imposed. School systems were forced into a non-existent “Plan B” as people across the continent were forced into lockdown,
beginning with Italy – warranting a desperate reboot of teaching and learning, and leaving teachers on their own to figure out
how to continue teaching in light of the COVID-induced school closures. They began to teach from home. They rushed to find
what they could to compensate for lost time in school, many reaching into their own pockets when schools refused to allocate
funds from their budget to pay for needed resources and not being totally prepared to be digitally ready or technology literate.
Google data on a huge spike in the demand for digital learning resources triggered by COVID affirmed what we have seen
coming for some time - teachers, parents and students seeking out online resources. Nothing new here; for the past decade,
recommendations from esteemed international organizations have come forth on the need to redesign learning for the 21st
Century, a clarion call for action that has now been stimulated by COVID. Not only has the pandemic added pressure on the
social service delivery systems, the pandemic has exacerbated labor market challenges. Like the Global Financial Crisis before
it, COVID has brought to light a pervasive skills gap and skills mismatch between what is learned in educational and training
environments and those demanded by the 21st Century workforce. Multilateral funders saw this as a golden opportunity to
prompt the formation of alliances that could respond to the COVID-19 situation, most notably the European Commission through
Erasmus+ calls for digital readiness and promoting creativity and the Union for the Mediterranean for employment promotion.
Global Skills Network rallied its extensive network in Europe and the Mediterranean region to respond to the calls in six
applications bringing together a cross-section of society – education, the Public, Private and Third Sectors, youth groups and
volunteers – in applicant consortia. The fallout from COVID will take a global village to put our communities on the road to
recovery – a huge THANKS to our partners who will bring these projects to life!

What is EntreComp Education & Training?
Ten years ago, the European
Commission identified a sense of
initiative and entrepreneurship as
one of the eight key competences
necessary for a knowledge-based society.
The EntreComp framework proposes a
shared definition of entrepreneurship as a
competence, with the aim to raise consensus among
varied stakeholders and to establish a bridge between
the worlds of education and work.
The EntreComp Framework constitutes the building blocks of
entrepreneurship as a competence. The framework is composed
of three areas with five competences each along a progression
model that supports specified learning outcomes.
Our entrepreneurship training modelconsists of five components, as illustrated on the entrepreneurship training model page:
