Why are we here today? • The challenge: supporting migrant entrepreneurs • All EU countries face a challenge of work place integration – entrepreneurship can be a way of supporting yourself • Need for targeted job-preparation and orientation assistance for migrants • Barriers: access to finance and support, language, limited business, management/marketing skills, over-concentration in some business areas.

The proposed solution: • A more qualified selection of who becomes an entrepreneur • Strengthening the skills needed • Reduce risk of failing with the business endeavour

• By introducing a training model that: – Measures the competencies and mindset – Provides possibilities for developing competencies – Trains and tests the skills in a controlled environment – Gives recognition of competencies
