Finding a job today is not easy, but with the right knowledge and skills, a number of doors open up. Free education “We know how” has opened it to a large number of young people who have participated in it since 2011.
From the generation, the Centre for Technical Culture Rijeka strives with its partners to adapt the content of the training ‘We know how’ to labour market trends, employers’ needs and the interests of young people. This year, in cooperation with partners from the Cluster for Eco-Social Development and Innovation i the Rijeka Development Agency Porin, we developed a programme based on 3 modules – Social Entrepreneurship and Business Plan (40 hours), EU Academy (40 hours) and Business Idea Presentation (40 hours).
How is education planned?
During the first module, Social entrepreneurship and business plan, young people, under the guidance of a certified trainer, will develop business plans for their own social entrepreneurial ideas. We will analyze the market and the needs of the local community, we will get acquainted with the concept, theory, legislation and examples of social entrepreneurship from Croatia and the world. Upon completion of the module, each participant, individually or in a team, will develop a business plan for their socio-entrepreneurial idea. A team of experts gathered around the project will evaluate the resulting ideas and advise the participants on how to implement them.
Social entrepreneurship is becoming more and more popular and interesting these days, both to entrepreneurs and to numerous donors who are ready to finance ideas based on the Socio - Entrepreneurial Principles. Opportunities for financing such ideas are also offered through European funds, which is why we have developed a module for learners of “We know how”. the EU Academy. As part of this module, participants will learn how to find open competitions and how to read the instructions for applicants, how to collect tender documentation, how to design and present a good project idea. After the training, participants will, independently or in a team, apply project ideas to an imaginary competition and will then receive feedback on the quality of their application from certified project managers.
In order to present the business idea as best as possible in the everyday environment, it is necessary to place it in the online world through the website. That is why the participants of the training during the module Presentation of a business idea They will create a visual identity for their ideas, which they will then create with the support of a graphic designer, and then learn how to edit and update the website.
