Workshop Take hold of your future
The ArtEZ Business Centre will again offer the Train-the-Trainer workshop Grip on Your Future in 2025. This workshop is ideal for teachers and student mentors who want to help students develop their entrepreneurial skills.

During the Train-the-Trainer workshop Grip on Your Future, you will be introduced to the ArtisticEntreComp model. This model outlines 15 entrepreneurial competencies, including surprising skills not typically associated with entrepreneurship. It helps third- and fourth-year students gain insight into their entrepreneurial abilities and how to leverage them as they launch their careers.
In the workshop, you will:
- Explore the 15 competencies and identify how they are already (implicitly) present in your program.
- Learn how to make these competencies explicit within your curriculum.
- Receive tools to independently deliver the Grip on Your Future workshop to your students.
After the workshop, you will understand the areas where students feel prepared for professional practice and what they still want to learn to graduate confidently. Additionally, you’ll gain insight into what students perceive they have learned at ArtEZ and what they wish they had been taught in their program. The entrepreneurial competencies students find valuable will be mapped out, making this workshop a powerful tool for enhancing the flexibility of your curriculum.

Entrepreneurship is much more than finance. It is turning ideas into action
Some reactions from previous participants:
"I was very uncertain about the future; now I have more self-confidence that I can achieve my vision of the future";
"Entrepreneurship is turning ideas into action, and it encompasses much more than just finances";
"I now know the steps I can start taking and who I can use during the process. I don't have to do it alone."
