In the current economic climate it is increasingly difficult for VET students to secure employment after their initial training and therefore VET students are required to think more entrepreneurially about their career options. The E3 Project seeks to increase the profile of enterprise and explore new ways of developing students as enterprising citizens, enterprising employees and entrepreneurial new venturers. Each VET partner in the E3 Project will develop an Enterprise Hub for staff and students thus providing a focal point for the project the aim of which is to showcase current practice and collaborate on enterprise development across Europe, to exchange methodologies and good practices approaches, to improve the expertise of staff and trainers and to form a solid and sustained extra-curricular activity in the field of enterprise. A business incubation unit will act as an additional “world of work partner” to provide an insight to new venture creation. Each Enterprise Hub will explore and develop programmes that foster:Enterprising Citizens (employability, problem solving, critical thinking etc) Enterprising Employees (team work, continuous improvement, R&D projects etc)Entrepreneurial New Venturers (ideas generation, business planning, pre-incubation, product development, business start-up, enterprise competitions)Each Enterprise Hub will link with partner hubs to create a European network enabling VET staff and students to share expertise such as market intelligence leading to a network wide enterprise competition.
