Event Description
In the presence of European Commission Vice President Jyrki Katainen, OECD & Visa
According to the OECD, employers in most countries report difficulty in filling jobs, suggesting that the skills they require are not available in the labour market. Recent research (funded under Erasmus+) has shown how entrepreneurship education has multiple positive impacts, on academic skills as well as on other transversal competences such as digital and communication competences, creativity and teamwork. Those skills are considered by CEOs as the most difficult to find.
Join us to learn and exchange on what it takes to achieve levels of participation in entrepreneurship education that result in true socio-economic impact.
