ppv_001Serbia received its first owners of Entrepreneurial Skill Pass!

This September, secondary school students from various parts of the country had the opportunity to take an exam and receive an international certificate which would confirm that they had acquired the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to be employed or self-employed. Among them, the most successful were the students from Šid, Svrljig, Užice, Niš and Belgrade. Apart from receiving the Entrepreneurial Skill Pass (ESP), they will have numerous advantages in their further education, and also when they decide to enter the business world or start their own business.

This pilot project was realised by the Junior Achievement Serbia organisation with the support of the Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, and it included 242 students from 40 secondary schools who attended last year’s entrepreneurial education programme “Student Company.”

ppv_002Before taking the ESP exam, the students filled out a self-assessment questionnaire twice: once at the beginning and then again at the end of their participation in the “Student Company” programme. The results showed that, after the experience of managing a student company, the students became more creative and resourceful, they had more self-confidence, and taking the initiative and responsibility was at a higher level.

The Entrepreneurial Skill Pass is a joint initiative of the Junior Achievement Europe organisation and the European Commission, during the 2015/2016 school year it included over 14 thousand secondary school students from 22 European countries. The objective of this initiative is to demonstrate the influence that entrepreneurial learning has on the acquisition of skills and knowledge in young people.
