Product Description

VET AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

As many countries and regions face challenges of addressing unemployment, creating new jobs, encouraging engagement, and better matching VET provision to employer and industry needs, entrepreneurship must be a core capability and policy consideration. Perhaps positioned as developing an entrepreneurial mind set, this can be applied to exploring your own business and ideas, being an entrepreneur for your employer (intrapreneurship), or working on social innovations.


Entrepreneurship is one of the 21stCentury Capabilities, alongside a number of other skills required for future jobs and sustainable careers. Who is doing this well, where are the best practice examples, what is possible, and how does this work for VET policy, systems, teaching and learning practice, and products? Explore what is working well now, and where you might take this into the future, using a lean startup methodology with discussion on opportunities for women, people with disabilities, young people, and students across every level and industry sector.

Participants will be able to:

  • Apply lean startup methodology, identifying problems and creating solutions
  • Growth hack VET and Entrepreneurship policy
  • Rapidly design entrepreneurial experiences
  • Discern what entrepreneurial approaches will work for your context, country/region and goals
  • Identify VET capability development opportunities
  • Understand best practice in entrepreneurship and ways to support specific cohorts
