Interagency working group on entrepreneurship education meets at ILO Headquarters

On 18th January 2012, the Inter-Agency Working Group on Entrepreneurship Education met at ILO Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. UNESCO-UNEVOC and UNESCO Headquarters participated in the meeting through video conference. The working group consists of representatives of ILO, UNESCO Headquarters, UNESCO-UNEVOC, GIZ and ETF and was established in May 2010 to promote knowledge sharing, support current activities and resources, and initiate joint activities in the area of entrepreneurship education.

The meeting started off by clarifying the objectives of the working group and setting goals for the coming year. In an informal manner, members discussed previous achievements and presented various ideas/actions for future collaboration including:

  • The sharing of experiences and practices on determining key indicators and measuring results in entrepreneurship education/entrepreneurial learning
  • The sharing of good practices in entrepreneurial learning
  • Contributing to the Third International Congress on TVET
  • e-Forum moderator driven discussion on social entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship education seeks to provide learners with the knowledge, skills and motivation to encourage entrepreneurial success, both through self-employment and through encouraging an entrepreneurial mindset of employed persons. With growing numbers of (youth) unemployment around the world, entrepreneurship education is becoming increasingly important in tackling this issue.
