EntreComp
A European reference framework

A European reference framework
• EntreComp is a comprehensive reference framework which
defines and describes entrepreneurship as a transversal key
competence for all citizens
• It is not a curriculum, nor does it prescribe specific learning
• It is flexible guidance that can be taken up and adapted to
different audiences and cultures as well as to meet different
needs

The purpose
• A common language to bridge the world of education, youth-
work, community and work
• Inform all stakeholders interested in entrepreneurship education
about what the learning outcomes could/should be, also at
different levels
• Help policy makers identify the competences that formal E&T
and non-formal learning need to promote and consider ways to
reach the goal
• Raise the clarity and visibility of a broad notion of
entrepreneurship amongst the wider community

Entrepreneurial competencies:
• Creativity
• Self-awareness / Self-efficacy
• Initiative / Opportunity orientation
• Uncertainty management
• Perseverance
• Etc etc...
How to develop them:
• Value creation for others
• Venture creation / mini companies
• Opportunity creation / identification
• Self-directed learning
• Project / problem based learning
EntreComp:
The EU Framework for Entrepreneurial Competencies

How can it be used? Flexibly!
• EntreComp can be used:
o Conduct mapping exercises at national, regional or local level
identify potential gaps in the provision of entrepreneurial
learning pathways
o Facilitate peer learning on how to best to deliver high-quality
entrepreneurial learning experiences to achieve the described
outcomes across contexts - including in corporate settings
o Identify competences that could be incorporated in
assessment tools for measuring progress

The foundation: a broad definition of
entrepreneurship as a competence
• Entrepreneurship is when you act upon opportunities and ideas
and transform them into value for others. The value that is
created can be financial, cultural, or social
• Entrepreneurship as a competence is individual & collective, it
applies to all spheres of life, e.g. personal development,
entering the job market, starting a venture, that may be
innovative or not
