🤩Junior Entrepreneurship Academy👈 🤝Impărtășim cu voi experiența de miercuri de la cursul de antreprenoriat, unde am discutat și am efectuat împreună cu tinerii o analiză SWOT și o analiză PEST, instrumente care ajută la creșterea gradului de conștientizare al afacerii. Am trecut apoi la utilizarea inteligenței artificiale ca instrument digital în afaceri. În ultima parte, am introdus câteva concepte despre motivarea antreprenorului. 🌿Acest program este derulat în parteneriat cu Asociația Întreprinzătorilor Maramureș.🌞 🎯YMCA hubs are operating in Ukraine, Romania, Moldova & Slovakia, addressing an immediate need for digital competencies, employability-skills building, legal advice, mental health support, and youth work, serving beneficiaries from the communities affected by the war.
