GreenerShip

The third result of the GreenerShip project consists of testing, validating and adjusting the educational tools produced during the previous phases, in particular the curriculum (technical and gender) and the green entrepreneurship toolkit. This field pilot phase is essential to ensure the effectiveness, relevance and ownership of the content by end users. An online training course will first be organised to train VET trainers in each partner country in the use of the toolkit and modules. These sessions will strengthen their methodological, pedagogical and technical skills. Pilot tests will then be carried out in the four partner countries (France, Greece, Slovenia and Denmark) with groups of learners, trainers and entrepreneurs. Each session (face-to-face or remote) will simulate the actual implementation of the modules, observe their impact on learning and gather qualitative and quantitative feedback. This work will ensure that the teaching resources are appropriate, accessible and effective, and that they can be transferred to other VET institutions in Europe.

The Union of Couveuses Incubators (UCE) is the french head of a national network of business creation. UCE brings together 54 “couveuse” incubators throughout France and in the overseas departments with about a staff of 225 people.
UCE’s incubators provide group training sessions in key business skills, one-on-one advice from professional mentors, and networking opportunities to entrepreneurs setting up their own companies. The star feature of “couveuses” incubators is the crash test – the ability to test your business on the marketplace under real conditions; the entrepreneurs can start finding customers, marketing their services, invoicing and generating revenue, before launching into complicated administrative
procedures such as managing their accounts without support, or registering their business.
Each year, over 5 500 entrepreneurs are testing their activity in the couveuse incubators. 55% of these entrepreneurs concluded their crash test by successfully creating their business, having seen that the entrepreneurial lifestyle suits them. Three years after creation, 81% of these companies created are still in business, a statistic 20% higher than national averages. 20% of the entrepreneurs turn to “intrapreneurism” following their incubation period: they begin employment in roles that directly utilise new business skills acquired in the couveuse. Others return to education or engage in further training.
The entrepreneurs accompanied across the network start businesses in a wide variety of sectors: arts and culture, wellbeing, technology, social, agriculture, retail, B2B & B2C services.
The Union of couveuse incubators represents and promotes its member incubators on a national scale. It strengthens the network by holding each member to their certified quality standard centered around key services for entrepreneurs. It develops and provides access to the digital and entrepreneurial tools, resources, and legal and fiscal guidance necessary to ensure efficient, professional training across the board. It offers a range of training sessions to teach those who work at the incubators the best ways to support and mentor entrepreneurs, encourage entrepreneurial mindset, and how to manage the bookkeeping of hundreds of entrepreneurs at the same time.
They have developed a professional certificate “Entrepreneur de la T.P.E.” which gives a qualification at “Bac+2” level equivalence to entrepreneurs in training. The entrepreneur receives training in 5 key modules when undertaking this qualification: the market analysis, the organization of the project, the financial planning
and budget, the commercial strategy for marketing and distribution, and the importance of sustainable development within a community. To know more, visit: https://jetestemonentreprise.com/
