EMINENT addresses two key priorities in the EU: Social inclusion of migrants and increasing the number of female entrepreneurs. The contribution of migrant entrepreneurs is something that is becoming more widely recognized, as issues surrounding immigration become frequent and topical points for discussion. However, the important contribution of female migrant entrepreneurs is a factor that is mostly overlooked.The UK, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands are among the countries that have introduced measures to improve the institutional framework for female enterprise – but much more needs to be done especially to overcome the specific individual barriers for female migrants. This applies especially as those countries are among the countries that show above-average numbers of migrants and refugees. The problem is that our VET institutions are ill-equipped to do so: most are unspecialized in the specific strategies that are shown to work best with female migrant entrepreneurs and their staff are especially not trained to implement appropriate culture-sensitive teaching methods.In this context, EMINENT has a clear goal: increase the number of female migrant entrepreneurs by transforming their access to and the quality of the training they receive from entrepreneurship VET institutions. To do so, we will: a) Develop a Compendium of Good Practice presenting good practice on engaging with women from minority groups and culturally appropriate and effective pedagogical techniquesb) Create, publish and trial a Curriculum and Classroom Course that provides the knowledge and skills needed for female entrepreneurs to gain the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to establish and successfully run their own businessc) Create an interactive knowledge platform acting as a multi-dimensional learning hub and exchange platform for female migrant entrepreneurs, VET and stakeholdersd) Design and implement innovative learning placements for 20 female migrants with start-up potential in successful (preferably female led) businesses.The project methodology is highly participative at all stages, involving our three main target groups (training providers such as enterprise centres, colleges and incubators; female migrant entrepreneurs and wider stakeholders) in the following ways: - At least 20 female migrants will participate in the pilot testing of the classroom course- At least 20 female migrants will participate in the EMINENT Placement Programme- At least 60 female migrants will participate in the trial of the Interactive Learning Platform and OERs- At least 35 experts in (female) migrant support and professional entrepreneurship teachers and trainers will be deeply involved in the resource development and testing. - At least 135 representatives of stakeholder organizations will participate in multiplier events. - Approximately 7,500 individuals will engage with the interactive online platform with OER.Thanks to improved exposure/availability and improved quality of entrepreneurship education opportunities, EMINENT will generate an increase in the overall number of potential and existing female migrant entrepreneurs engaged in continuing VET and it is more likely that early stage female migrant entrepreneurs grow their ideas into successful enterprises in the short term.As a result of the EMINENT educational resources, managers, teachers and trainers in VET institutions will overcome existing bias, update their own skills and modify service provision in their institutions to be more inclusive and better support female migrant entrepreneurs. At regional level, the project will create a more enabling environment for female migrant entrepreneurs and generate the knowledge sharing and feedback loops which will contribute to ongoing improvement and the development of further initiatives.(Female) migrant inclusion and female entrepreneurship are a particularly important areas of focus across Europe. For this reason, we believe EMINENT will not only generate significant impact at local level but will capture the attention of policy makers and actors further up the ladder nationally and across Europe. In addition, the project has been designed to respond to a genuine need experienced by partner organizations and their counterparts in the vocational education, entrepreneurship support and economic development, all of whom have a vested interest in using the outputs and sustaining the impacts in the long term.
