Description
This MOOC want to contribute to strengthen the resources available for mentoring our students, integrating their educators on an entrepreneurial mentorship scheme that will allow them to facilitate also the students' self knowledge process.
This course will also promote shortening the gap between Academia and the Business Sector by creating an ecosystem that takes advantage of existing mentoring networks, business experts, key stakeholders, together with the consortium HEI partners' knowledge and scientific poll, a constant exchange and interaction between both educators and mentors that will share common tools and entrepreneurial skills, but also will complement each others expertise and knowledge in the benefit of the students.
We create a training program that focuses on developing a set of Facilitation techniques to allow Educators to gain new skills and competences that will allow them to engage better with students and support them in achieving their goals and personal objectives.
