Mon, 14 Mar 2016
We are pleased to present the first newsletter about the Erasmus+ project "L2L Entrepreneurship - Learning to learn entrepreneurship for low skill young people“ that has just started with great enthusiasm in Valencia.
What is the project about?
"L2L Entrepreneurship" is a KA2 - Strategic Partnerships for Vocational Education and Training of Erasmus+ Programme that was designed for supporting low skills young entrepreneurs to develop and realize business ideas to be launched on the European and global markets. The partnership will produce a free training course that will provide tools in all the essential aspects of the entrepreneurship process for the creation of a Winning Business Plan. The on-line training course will be available on an e-learning platform for young aspiring businessmen, trainees and also for expert trainers who can use it as support for face to face lessons and for distance and online courses.
