Abstract

B-CAPP is a project co-funded by the ERASMUS + European Programme, aiming in helping young entrepreneurs to improve their skills and knowledge towards the smart use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and e-Business for reducing operating costs and generating revenues in order to successfully run their own start-up companies. The B-CAPP partnership is designing, developing, testing, implementing and disseminating an innovative training framework. Modular training course along with online training materials facilitated by two innovative tools namely the Financial Strategy Genie (or Genie) and the Skills Retention Service (SRS) with a Learning Motivation Environment (LME). The Joint Staff Training Event (Train the trainers workshop) gives partners the opportunity to assess the project outputs through a peer-learning and testing process. The development of the proposed training framework was based on the adoption of a user-centered approach. The Joint Staff Training Event (Train the trainers workshop) was very useful especially at a particular moment, i.e. after Intellectual Outputs (IOs) and before multiplier events/pilots. This workshop increased the motivation of the trainers, gave weight to their practical experiences and provided the necessary cross-links between theory and practice.
