Intercultural Entrepreneurship : Professional starters & business support by Q-label accreditation

Name of institution: Syntra West
Type of the organization:
  • Private
Country:
  • Belgium
Thematic scope of the project:
  • Workers and new skills
  • Businesses undergoing change
  • Education and training
Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

a) Trainers in enterprise courses (eg. Basic Business Management) have little knowledge, skills and experience in supporting potentials starters amongst migrants and new arrived ethnic minorities in Belgium/Flanders
These target groups have specific difficulties following a generic training approach as they need additional support as a pre-starter and starter.
b) Start-up migrants mainly rely on ‘informal’ support by people amongst their own network/community. This support is not always professional done, which doesn’t enhance the grow potential of start-ups.

Objectives to be achieved: Bench mark of best practices in start-up and business support to migrants in the EU countries to develop a training model for trainers in VET and people from the community who act as informal advisors for their own communities, so they could act as certified trainer for start-ups in their ethnic minority community. This way they could act as a liaison body between their community and the official institutions. The main purpose would be then to create a platform for the migrants and a better link between VET and immigrants.
Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners): Exchange of suitable desk research Study visits on structure of training models for start-up for migrants support in the EU Countries. Transnational peer review seminar in Brussels in 2015 on training models for starters and start-ups from in Europe Organisation of conferences, seminars, workshops and meetings, Adaptation of solutions developed in another country, Consulting or exchange of certified trainers for start-ups and starters  Development of new  solutions
