Goal

The Silver Entrepreneurs project is a 30-month initiative aimed at adult education and entrepreneurship-building for individuals in the silver-age demographic (60+). Its core purpose is to empower and equip these individuals with the essential skills and confidence necessary for the development of their entrepreneurial projects, enabling them to maintain social and economic engagement.

The project will implement a comprehensive entrepreneurship simulation program that encompasses a range of complex scenarios tailored to the unique needs of each participant. By adopting an individualized approach, the project directly addresses the challenges faced by the aging workforce, including outdated skills, and seeks to unlock the untapped potential of seniors. Through this personalized entrepreneurship simulation program, participants are provided with the guidance and support needed to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape and enhance their prospects for success.
