STEP5 - The final Training Course

This HOP course is a unique opportunity after your recent Training Course experience in Poland the past November 2025. Together, we will explore how non-formal educational approaches boosted your methodologies in both designing and multiplying entrepreneurship learning in your communities across Europe.

What is this course about?

Entrepreneurship education is more than business plans and financial skills: as we could experience along the years of the STEP Hub, it is about inspiring creative thinking, resilience, collaboration, and practical problem-solving, especially through flexible, learner-driven, and community-oriented methods. This course focuses on non-formal learning approaches that emphasize real-world experiences, peer learning, and adaptability with the aim to learn a bit more of entrepreneurial education and career development. 

You will build your skills and confidence to become a multiplier, a trainer/youth worker who can share innovative educational techniques and methodologies to spark entrepreneurial mindsets beyond formal classrooms.

A relevant adding is that the STEP HUB grew through STEP5, and we foresee working for an upcoming format that can create inclusive entrepreneurial learning thanks to digitalisation and hybridisation of job in the youth field and with the support of HEIs. 

Course Structure and Duration

• Duration: 1st December 2025 to 31st January 2026 (self-paced with periodical milestones)
