The StartUp program is an international collaboration between five organizations which want to promote entrepreneurship and business mindset to more people with disabilities.

Funded by Erasmus + and with partners from Chile, Greece, Malaysia and the United Kingdom, the project aims to improve both the access and the quality of vocational training for educators, career counselors, youth workers and others who support people with disabilities to explore options in employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.

By creating an e-learning platform and an online community, StartUp project seeks to improve entrepreneurial skills and knowledge and help create a better understanding of opportunities for people with disabilities.

The Academy of Entrepreneurship is the coordinator of the program and we are pleased to invite you to apply!

– gives participants an overview of the enterprise’s development process, an understanding of where entrepreneurial ideas come from, how they are tested and how they can be developed.
