Modular open and distance learning for entrepreneurs, especially for ethnic minorities

Objective

OBJECTIVES
This project arises from the following premise: the training courses offered to date to entrepreneur candidates have been ill-suited to their target group, there is a lack of motivation by the participants and there is an obvious need for more flexible training programmes. This is why the partnership, supported by a dynamic network bringing together those involved in education, training, social partners and enterprises, intends to develop training modules for entrepreneur candidates which are more suited to the target group. They will endeavour in particular to adapt these modules to entrepreneur candidates from ethnic minorities. The partners will seek to develop open and distance training courses and use the facilities offered by multimedia methods.

ACTIVITIES
A list of the existing material will be drawn up to begin with. The partners will then start to adapt this material according to the objectives being pursued and develop new training aids using multimedia methods. Each training module offered to the entrepreneur candidates is autonomous, but as a whole forms a complete course. These modules offer open and distance training and can be easily integrated into courses already established by training organisations.

PRODUCTS
The teaching aids used consist of publications (the traditional syllabuses); computer software for self-assessment, language learning, accounts and management programmes, and multimedia tools (video and CD-I). A database will be compiled for reference sources and works for each module. All the material will be available in Dutch, Portuguese and Swedish.
