II. General part - description of knowledge, skills and competences

Introduction

The UPthEM programme is organised in three main parts, namely a General part, four training
modules – Creative thinking, Green entrepreneurship and sustainability, Training opportunities
and entrepreneurship solutions and Social and professional empowerment - and a role-play
simulation part.

The General part of UPthEM program is dedicated to establishing the context, framework and core
content of the Programe. First, it reviews the central principles in the field of entrepreneurship:
main principles and business principles in entrepreneurship. It looks at the implications of the
theoretical propositions and framework in the field on the scope and content of a generic
entrepreneurial programme – required courses, streams and links with the market. It seeks to
establish the place that UPthEM program occupies in the field. Second, it maps knowledge, skills
and competences that are developed in trainers and trainees of entrepreneurship. It formulates
learning outcomes sought in entrepreneurship training porgrammes and gives specific attention to
competences and attitudes of teachers/trainers and adult learners with disadvantaged backgrounds.
Further it provides analysis and conclusions on specific sets of learning outcomes, relating to each
group of the four types of disadvantaged adults the Programme focuses on (sociocultural,
economic, geographical and physical disadvantages). Third, brief review is given to the teaching
and assessment methods in the area – effective classroom (including virtual classroom), teaching
technics, projects and assignment, including training materials, assessment of the knowledge and
skills gained by the trainees.

The UPthEM adult learners programme also has defined modules’ structure, based on the target
audience – adult learners with disadvantaged backgrounds in four groups: people facing socio-
cultural (gender, ethnicity or religion related), economic (related to unemployment and poverty),
geographical disadvantages (living in remote and rural areas with limited employment
opportunities and higher, in relation to other regions, rate of long-term unemployment) and the
group of people with physical disabilities. The four modules of the Programme are as follows:

- Green Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development;

- Creative thinking

- Training opportunities and entrepreneurship solutions

- Social and professional empowerment
