Short Overview
The educational program is designed for people in adolescence, namely middle school and high school students and its total duration is 30 hours throughout the school year. It starts at the end of October with a 3-hour field visit to the premises of the Athens University of Economics and Business and ends in May (well before the school exams) with a closing ceremony in person. In the interim, the program is implemented in the form of live streaming for 2 hours 2 times a month, except for the months of Christmas and Easter which will be done once each. In these 2 hours, the trainees, a) learn the basic topics for the entrepreneurship of the future with an environmental, social and economic impact, b) become familiar with entrepreneurship tools, b) learn about business initiatives by sector (e.g., food, trade, services, technology, marketing) theoretically and practically by communicating with entrepreneurs, and c) practice to strengthen entrepreneurship skills. The program allows the trainees to deal individually or in teams with the evaluation of a business idea, which they will present at the closing ceremony. This activity will strengthen the orientation of the trainees to global challenges of sustainable development, cultivate their commitment to initiatives that incorporate ESG criteria (E: Environment, S: Society, G: Governance) and facilitate the adoption of a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship that multiplies impact and creates value for all.
Learning Goals
At the end of the program, trainees-students:
  • will advance their professional orientation and perceive entrepreneurship as a professional career choice
  • will understand entrepreneurship in terms of sustainable development, social and environmental impact
  • will be equipped with entrepreneurship skills
  • will be able to use tools to assess the viability of business ideas
  • will be able to maintain networking within the entrepreneurship ecosystem, and
  • will be able to dream their own future.
Program Value
The educational program for the entrepreneurship of the future is the only one in a Greek university for medium and and high school students. It is designed in a way that contributes to the strengthening of youth and adolescent entrepreneurship in Greece, as it motivates individuals to familiarize themselves with the entrepreneurship ecosystem early on, i.e., before completing secondary education. Given the accelerated growth of youth entrepreneurship in recent years with the majority of young people maintaining a positive view of entrepreneurship, we have transferred our know-how to design a short-term training program for young males and females who wish to gain added value from a structured approach that makes entrepreneurship an attractive professional option in various scientific fields (for doctors, engineers, agronomists, philologists, lawyers, etc.) at national and global level. Through the training program, the trainees will advance their professional orientation, as they will understand the global challenges of sustainability and sustainable development and will cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset with a strong impact on the environment, society and the economy.
