  21. CSVM results • Strength: We have experience how to organise a virtual internship • Weakness: It was too early, first we should teach entrepreneurial skills. • Benefit: Some company’s interest.

  22. The main objective of CBVE is to enhance the professional skills of students by lifelong open and flexible learning approaches, with a specific focus on the development, extension and expansion of entrepreneurial skills.

  23. By developing pedagogically-rich learning content and recruiting non-traditional learners, CBVE directly engages the stated target group and offers them a unique opportunity to lever entrepreneurial training. A main benefit for the learner is the value added which is created in his or her portfolioconcerning acquired entrepreneurial competence. In the end, the learner is better equipped for successful business start-up, as well as for innovation inside traditional companies. In all, the prospects of (self and/or wage) employability increase.
