With the strong involvement of Puskás Tivadar Vocational School from Sfântu Gheorghe and the active contribution of StartUp HUB and Budapest Mobility, the third professional meeting of the Erasmus+ project “Empowering the Future: A Game-Changing Entrepreneurship Program for VET Students” was held between March 18–22, 2025, in Lőrinci, Hungary. The event was hosted by Heves Vármegyei SZC Március 15. Technikum, Vocational School and Dormitory, providing the perfect setting for testing and professional exchange.
We are proud to contribute to this project, which aims to strengthen the entrepreneurial and digital skills of VET students, supporting their readiness for the labor market and encouraging them to launch their own business initiatives.
A central element of the project is the development of an innovative and interactive online platform designed to offer students practical support in developing entrepreneurial thinking and business skills. The platform will provide learning materials, practical tools, mentoring opportunities, and collaborative functions, creating a space where students can shape, test, and implement their own business ideas.
During the meeting, participants tested the first version of the platform and provided feedback on its structure, functionality, and content. The program included interactive workshops, business simulations, and case studies, allowing students to practice key entrepreneurial skills such as identifying business opportunities, conducting market analysis, and developing business plans.
An important part of the agenda was the visit to Heves Vármegyei SZC Bornemissza Gergely Technikum in Eger, where participants learned about local good practices in dual vocational training. The program was enriched with cultural activities, including visits to Hollókő, Eger Castle, and the historical center of Hatvan.
This meeting strengthened international cooperation, facilitated the exchange of best practices, and laid the foundation for the platform’s further development. Our goal is for this tool to become a real and practical support for VET students as they pursue their entrepreneurial ideas.
