Look no further! The PAL PUSH II project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, is here to support you on your entrepreneurial journey.
The PAL PUSH II project aims to integrate European knowledge in employment and entrepreneurship for disadvantaged groups, including women, seniors, unemployed individuals, migrants, and Romani communities. Through innovative learning opportunities, interactive techniques, and digital tools, the project strives to boost social integration through employment or entrepreneurship.
The project has been successfully implemented in 7 countries, including Greece, Romania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Portugal, Italy, and Croatia, and has provided training to over 140 people who belong to social inclusion groups. The project focuses on practical and valuable skills that are essential for starting and running a successful business. The training is designed to empower future entrepreneurs with the necessary knowledge and support to turn their business ideas into action.
The Entrepreneurship course offered by PAL PUSH II covers a wide range of topics, including:
