The SkillsXcellerate project’s goal is to address the obstacles faced by youth, including a lack of entrepreneurial role models and skills, through entrepreneurship promotion with a focus on inclusion. Despite the augmented desire among EU youth to start businesses, only a small percentage actively pursue entrepreneurship due to various barriers.
Women entrepreneurs are particularly underrepresented, missing out on economic growth opportunities.
The project seeks to highlight the relevance of entrepreneurial skills in everyday life and provide support to disadvantaged youth through a guide for youth workers and inspiring
success stories. These resources will be complemented by growth mindset materials and practical tools like a business canvas and idea bank.
By offering structured resources and an experiential learning approach, the project is expected to facilitate the acquisition of 21st century skills and competencies, ultimately empowering youth to pursue successful entrepreneurial paths. Through SkillsXcellerate, youth programs can become beacons of support, paving the way for a promising future for young people.
