We've all heard about the benefits of doing Erasmus bring: getting to know new cultures, developing new habits and fostering a series of soft skills necessary as students and professionals.
What if we had the opportunity to create a company while doing ErasmusErasmus span>?
Since 2009 this has been possible!
The Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs < span style="font-weight: 400;">is a program funded by the European Commission, with the aim of allowing young people to develop their business ideas and management skills with more experienced entrepreneurs (who are owners or managers of a company located in one of the adhering countries ? 28 members of the European Union, United States of America, Norway, Republic of Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Singapore, Israel, Iceland, Montenegro, Turkey, Albania or Serbia).
During their stay, which varies between 1 and 6 months, young people will have access to important tools to start their new project (contacts, training, etc.) and will receive a monthly amount that varies between 530 and 1100 euros, depending on the cost of living in each country.
And what is the benefit of all this for the host companies? In addition to daily contact with young foreign entrepreneurs, which could be very useful for future business or partnerships, they also have the advantage of being able to benefit from the creativity and competitive spirit that young people at university or just entering the job market have.< /p>
And so, I leave you with another initiative (this time quite international), where you can work and develop your ideas. If you have a business ?in mind?, but lack the basic tools to start it, this is the opportunity! The registration process is done online, on the website www.erasmus-entrepreneurs.eu.
Improve every day. Create impact
