A growth mindset is the underlying beliefs that orient our behaviors and a

way of thinking - a learned cognitive modelthat is acquired slowly and subtly,

over a long period of time as the result of experiences. A growth mindset,

versus a fixed mindset, consists of the set of attitudes, skills and behaviors

that individuals need to succeed, not only in entrepreneurship but also

academically, personally and professionally. These include: initiative and

self-direction, risk-taking, flexibility and adaptability, creativity and
innovation, critical thinking and problem solving. Other definitions
include the ability to see opportunities, marshal resources and create value.

Anyone, at any age, at any stage in life can engage in EntreComp training to become

entrepreneurial - that is, acquiring the ability to transform ideas and opportunities into

products and services that have value to others.

Growing Entrepreneurship With EntreComp

The EntreComp Framework constitutes the building blocks of entrepreneurship as a

competence. The framework is composed of three areas with five competences each

along a progression model that supports specified learning outcomes.

Inquiry-Based Learning is real world learning in problem-solving that
complements entrepreneurship education for knowledge deepening.
Real world learning supported by our training model offers a holistic and

flexible approach to learning in preparation for acquiring 21st Century

skills needed in the workforce, in entrepreneurship and for success

throughout the education continuum. RWL is often referred to as

Phenomenon or Experietial Learning - and is based on the the same

problem-solving methods used in scientific communities. The pedagogy,

methodologies and strategies around inquiry-based, real-world learning is

revolutionizing education systems throughout the world. This is the

systemic changes needed to adopt an interdisciplinary approach to problem

solving that leads toward understanding core concepts more thoroughly,

EntreComp can be applied to starting an entrepreneurial venture startup. Working

environments can embrace the spirit of entrepreneurship through EntreComp training

in order to allow a company to create or invent products and services that complement

core business offering, innovate or utilize technology more efficiently. Education

systems can infuse EntreComp into any discipline or subject matter to improve

learning outcomes, bolster knowledge deepening and help their students acquire skills

that will propel them throughout the education continuum and into the workforce.

Retirees can themselves become entrepreneurs or use their extensive experience,

expertise and background in volunteering to help others become entrepreneurs. The

public sector can offer EntreComp training to employees and section/department heads

to promote the development of entrepreneurship skills in the workplace to overcome

common challenges, to transform operations with SMART technologies and to support

Where can EntreComp be applied?

Who Can Become Entrepreneurial with EntreComp?

Our model has embraced EntreComp as its foundational basis, to translate

the concept of “entrepreneurship” into a model with which it is possible to

speak about entrepreneurship in a universal way. EntreComp supports a

methodology and corresponding tool that allows the competency elements

in the area of knowledge, attitude and skills to be measured. The results are

the starting point for the further development of the underlying competencies
and associated indicators. The entrepreneurship is thus made transparent and

understandable.
