This project aims:

AND
CONTINUE THE STARTED ENTERPRISE
Our target groups:
– Students in VET (secondry / higher education)– VET institutes / universities from theory to practice– Adults . . . . . . – All who want to learn about entrepreneurship, start
their business during education and continue after graduation
We aim at: • Continued entrepreneurship

• Preparation of the student: – Business administration - business plan– Marketing - financial plan– Acquisition - marketing plan– Tax - risks– Insurances - loss & profit
• Entrepreneurial competence profile– Entrepreneurial qualities– Characteristics– Behaviour
Intended results:• Insight how to coach these young entrepreneurs
and recommendations• A manual describing procedures• Website with information / results• Differences per partner country (rules, advices,
finances and tax, etc.)• Started enterprises
Some questions:
What do we know about entrepreneurship?• Manuals?
– Do you have a manual? Do you need a manual?– Do you have / do you need training materials?
• Experiences?– Have you / your colleagues experience with entrepreneurship?
• Video materials– Is there video / DVD material available?
How can we get the required materials?- your regional colleagues- your partners- Internet (see next sheets)- chamber of commerce- economic institutes- special support groups (in NL: foundation Jong Ondernemen,
Syntens (EZ/SZW), Ondernemersklankbord, etc. )- buy a manual:
Stimulation:• business plan competitions • starters lift (idea presentations)• students cooperating in a business• creating business centres, joint business building • shareholders, advisers, investors • establish a support group in your region with bankers, directors
of big companies, development agencies, insurance companies, etc.
• Investments• Youth Venture invests in young people • Establish your financial support group• Seed capital
• Support / coaching• Starters should have an advice council / consultant• Shareholders can have external force
• Future• What about entrepreneurship after funding? • Training program, refreshing courses, some contact

Getting started-1
• Think about: • Acquisition of students• Information / training entrepreneurship• Ideas / needs of the market / your market• Legal status• Tax and agreements with your tax office (VAT,
income tax, tax on profit, etc.) • Registarion at Chamber of Commerce• Third-party liability insurance• Role and responsibilities of teaching staff
Getting started-2
• Advice of experts: accountant, coach• Investments: restrictions / risks / profit&loss• Local regulations• Combinations of job and entrepreneurship
A lot of aspects to be taken care for. How are the rules and what kind of agrements can you make with your chamber / tax / insurance / accountant agencies. Try to involve these institutes (as advice committee) in your project.

Thank you for the attention
The VieDome project.VieDome is a fine example of a pioneering cluster at the cutting edge of technology and society. VieDome is a residential care concept in which domotics (the use of ICT in the home) and care are offered in a non-institutional setting. The concept makes it possible for people like Mrs. Mulhof (see photograph) to live in their own homes. VieDome was developed by Simac, Mextal BV, Kempenstreek Home Care and Aert Swaens Housing Corporation, with the support of the Province and Brabant Innovative Actions.
Example-1
Example-2
Car wash• If anyone ever saw my business partners and me
together in one room, you would never think that we all owned a car wash. True, we might all be Arizona State University alumni who happen to be related, but it's not every day you see a team of eight real estate agents, engineers, scientists, and cocktail waitresses drawn together to start a company. In fact, none of us had a clue what it took to run a car wash in the first place.
• It took an ungodly amount of blood, sweat and tears to get from Point A to Point B, but eventually we got there. Within six months, the team took a struggling car wash and turned it into a passive-income generating asset.

Two ladies have started with producing so-called birth shields and renting party boxes for children
