Phase I -Questionnaire 1: Application Form

COURSE APPLICATION FORM FOR THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING WORKSHOP

Dear Applicant,

We would like to thank you for your interest in participating in the Entrepreneurship Training Workshop, which is based on the acclaimed EMPRETEC approach to improve entrepreneurial competencies.

In order to assess your personal competencies and your individual learning needs as well as the potential impacts of the training on you and your business, we would like to invite you to this pre-training assessment. Your individual entrepreneurial competencies will then be assessed through a personal interview with you, for which we will contact you upon receipt of the filled-in application.

Four and eight months after your participation in the training, we will contact you again for a follow-up with you to see to what extent the training was useful to you and to also discuss any potential support needs you may have. Your participation in these follow-ups is very important and we would like to urge you to take this opportunity to receive feedback and to share your experiences with us over the long run. This will also allow us to better meet your needs and to adapt our training and services accordingly. Only if we know how you do over time, will we be able to provide the support and services you really need.

This application form consists of two parts to assess your personal as well as your business background. It will only take about 20 minutes of your time. We know that your time is scarce, but it will be a good investment for the future.

A Note on Confidentiality:

We will ask you to share information about yourself and your business, which you might consider as sensitive and we acknowledge your potential hesitation to provide this information. We would therefore like to assure you that all information provided will be kept strictly confidently and will not be shared with any third party or other business. The information will only be used for assessment purposes and in anonymous format (names and other possible identifications will be kept separately). We would therefore like to ask you to provide as much and accurate information for the questions as possible.

Should you have any concerns or questions about the safety of your information or any other issue relating to your application, please do not hesitate to contact one of our team members to discuss the issues and possible solutions.

Thank you very much for your interest and time!
