Empowerment Through Enterprise was an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership for Youth reaching out young women from disadvantaged groups bringing to them more inclusive entrepreneurship training.
Empowerment through Enterprise (ETE) was based on the premise that we can –and must– do more to build entrepreneurial skills among this capable group of young people. However, it also recognizes that VET providers of entrepreneurship education are currently ill-equipped to do so: today’s entrepreneurship courses are inclusive on paper only – in reality they often inhibit the participation of young women from diverse backgrounds and the content and delivery is so far removed from their experience that the courses are ineffective in leading to the expected outcomes.
