What is ESP?
The Entrepreneurial Skills Pass (ESP) is a unique and new qualification
that proves students (16-19 years old) have had a
real entrepreneurial experience and have gained the necessary
knowledge, skills and competences to start a business or be successfully employed.
Partners of the ESP provide training and employment opportunities for ESP holders.
Junior Achievement Mini Companies
Students aged 15-19 found and run real companies
for 1 school year. They fulfil all entrepreneurial
tasks on their own and simply
learn business by doing business.
They receive guidance from a teacher
and business volunteers.
Skills-oriented Self-Assessment
During the school year students rate their own skills
in various entrepreneurial competences.
At the end of the year, they receive feedback on their
development links to further training.
Online Exam
Based on the international Entrepreneur’s Skills Certificate
students take an online exam at the end of the
school year to prove their knowledge and
obtain the certificate.
