Having entrepreneurial skills is beneficial for everyone, whether in your personal or professional life. Entrepreneurship is not just about starting your own business, it is a mindset that pushes you to see opportunities where others only see challenges and to know how to manage risk and uncertainty.
Having entrepreneurial skills is no longer a luxury, but an essential skill in everyone's toolbox! Whether you are a student, an employee, young or not so young...come and discover the entrepreneur inside of you! At the end of this course, you will be familiar with : - what entrepreneurship is, - the frameworks and practical tools that help you to be an entrepreneur and the mistakes to avoid, - a number of entrepreneurial methods and tools, or at least know how to learn and use them in practice, - how to find good business ideas and projects and how to manage risks.
Welcome to the beginning of your learning journey! This first module is about knowing what entrepreneurship is and when it makes sense to use it. Just as you choose the right clothes for the right occasion, we will show you when to put on your entrepreneurial hat and when to put on your managerial hat. You will discover that entrepreneurship is not something you ARE, but something you DO. The objective is also to demystify entrepreneurship for you in a very concrete way.
