European Entrepreneurship for Speakers of Other Languages (EUESOL)

Description

The main Objective European of Entrepreneurship for Speakers of Other Languages (EUESOL) is to target young adult Migrants (16-40 yrs) arriving across the EU seeking to create a new life through the establishing of new business growth and development within partner organisation countries. The EUESOL Project will provide specialised Entrepreneurship Language Training Skills, Skills Mapping/Mentoring and Specialised Business Planning/Training of new Business Start-Up Programmes. We are developing the project based on results of previous successfully delivered programmes. The project is based on feedback from previous domestic and EU project dissemination and Multiplier Events where we have had requests to combine Language Training, Skills Profiling, Vocational Training and Entrepreneurship Training. Hence the EUESOL Project. It also helps to address the very high unemployment across the EU, in many programme countries BME (both domestic and migrant numbers are high within the unemployment group). Although unemployment is low, between 3.8% and 9.8% the number of BME extremely high within this figure at around 48% of the unemployed, this number increasing dramatically due to the current pandemic, with further rises expected. Also within the UK and partner countries and the number of self-employed BMEs accounts for only around 4% of self-employment businesses, a growth here addressing the predicted 25% - 30%+ drop in EU Economic Activity.Hence, through local partnership working (across project partner countries), we have identified a need for Entrepreneurship support for this target group.Partners have been strategically picked to offer an arrangement of expertise from both the Private and Public Sectors, all who have a vast knowledge and experience in supporting this specific target group. Project will provide a range of Training Opportunities to cover all aspects of Self-Employment and through the array of partners’ expertise offer a full guidance experience leading to a new EU Entrepreneur. Delivery includes the first steps in skills mapping, experiences and aspirations of migrants with a view to them establish their own new business in a selected employment sector and utilise the support of Colleges/Private Trainers/Private NGOs along with use of Government Agencies such as Skills Development Scotland and Job/Employment/Regeneration organisations along with National Qualification/Accreditation bodies to support the project. The EUESOL project will assist in breaking down local barriers within host countries thus bridging business support and local communities through training courses in partners’ languages. We address a number of EU priorities including the “Achievement of relevant and high quality skills and competences” and “Enhancing access to training and qualifications for all” through new and innovative digital (VLE) training materials accessible to all.We will work closely with other VET colleges and adult training providers to establish specific learning materials, much of which will be available on-line and on the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) which will open doors to a more flexible learning approach. VLE materials will be developed and integrated into 4 * 20 hrs Training Packs:* Developing a Business Idea (Various Sectors)* Finance and E-Business* Commercial Aspects of Law* Environmental Development Skills for Enterprise (This will include following new Government Guidelines to ensure reduced and zero carbon emissions as laid-down by local Government and Government agencies)* Training includes skills mapping of project beneficiaries/individuals to attain suitability for new-business start-upTraining will comprise of encompass BME/Migrant Green Entrepreneurship Language Training Skills, Mentoring and Specialised Business Planning of new Business Start-Up Programmes. Training materials and material assessment materials are aimed at EQF Level 4 and provide a minimum 9 EQF Credit points. Units will encompass an aspect of Skills Assessment. Training materials will be developed as Learning Outcomes to meet all partners’ requirements and allow for further development within ECVET allowing for additional flexibility and mobility opportunities across partner organisation and countries.Partners are addressing specific gaps in training faced by new Entrepreneurs and specifically Migrant Entrepreneurs, we look at the numerous barriers faced by Migrant Workers and Refugees: Language, Business Development, Integration Skills, Support Mechanism, etc. and break down these barriers through the dedicated language/skills training to allow better integration within sectors.Partnership involves Migrant Community Groups (Established and New) to direct the training needs of BME/Migrant Entrepreneurs. Partners have highly trained staff from both Public and Private Sector providing a wide range of training skills including advisors to local Government on Migrant, Refugee matters.
