Workshop Take hold of your future

Entrepreneurship is much more than finance. It is turning ideas into action

We developed this workshop to give students an insight into the entrepreneurial skills they need to start their professional practice. After attending the workshop, students will have:

• Practiced entrepreneurial skills, they need in their professional practice
• Insight into what they can already do and what they still have to learn during their studies and after graduation
• Practiced expressing themselves in their own words about entrepreneurship

After each workshop, we share the results and insights with you. We give insight into what students already feel prepared for when they start their professional practice. And what they still want to learn in order to graduate with a good grip on their future. You will also get a picture of what students think they have learned at ArtEZ and what they would like to have learned within their study programme. You can also use the workshop to make your education more flexible by identifying the entrepreneurial competencies students need.

"Entrepreneurship is turning ideas into action, and it encompasses much more than just finances";
