Facilitating Women’s Entrepreneurship
The EntreComp Competence Framework is one of several such frameworks that describe in more detail the EU’s Key Competences for Lifelong Learning and provide guidance to educators in developing and implementing high-quality learning opportunities. However, the debate on competences and the appropriation of competence frameworks mostly focuses on national curricula and formal education. At the same time, a significant amount of learning opportunities that synthesise knowledge, skills and attitudes and thus strengthen learners’ competences are organised outside these formal educational organisations.
In particular, the scene advocating for women’s empowerment in entrepreneurship exemplifies how education is linked to impact.
This Guide has been produced as part of the EntreComp 360 Erasmus+ project
(2019-2022). It builds on companion documents that provide further guidance and information on how EntreComp, and competency frameworks generally, can support nonformal learning and youth empowerment, and how EntreComp can support assessment and or recognition in formal and non-formal learning in entrepreneurship
education.
