Start-Cup Academy Develops New Training Programme to Support Future Entrepreneurs
Within Work Package 3 (WP3) - Start-Cup Academy Curriculum, Training Content and Tools, the Erasmus+ project Start-Cup Academy has developed a comprehensive training programme designed to strengthen entrepreneurial competences and startup-related skills among students and aspiring entrepreneurs.
The programme responds to the growing need for practical, student-centred entrepreneurship education that helps learners move from ideas to viable business models, understand funding opportunities, manage innovation processes, and communicate their value effectively.
The training programme consists of eight courses grouped into four thematic areas:
Entrepreneurship & Start-ups
- Opportunity Recognition and Business Modelling
- Sustainable and Ethical Entrepreneurship
Finance and Funding
- Financial Literacy for Entrepreneurs
- Accessing Funding and Investment Readiness
Project Management
- Agile Project Management for Start-ups
- Digital Tools for Managing Innovation and Growth
Public Speaking and Presentation Skills
- Pitching and Persuasive Storytelling
- Public Speaking and Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
The training materials combine theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, case studies, self-assessment tools, and real-world examples. This approach ensures that learners can not only understand key entrepreneurship concepts but also apply them in practical startup development contexts.
All learning resources are being prepared in digital formats to ensure broad accessibility, flexible use, and long-term sustainability of the project results.
Through this training programme, Start-Cup Academy supports students and aspiring entrepreneurs in developing the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to navigate today’s dynamic entrepreneurial environment and transform innovative ideas into sustainable ventures.
