Don´ts
• Start-up projects because there is money
available
The sector has common themes; organizing entrepreneurs, regional mobility centre, sustainable
employability, talent development and retention and promoting jobs. On these themes we initiate and
support new activities.
We also develop in cooperation with the triple helix new projects for the unemployed and the weak
youngster to help them to find a job. For example, there is a scholarship for youngsters after they have
finished their education for getting work experience.
Initiators + booster team
The initiators are entrepreneurs who take the lead and are ambassadors for other entrepreneurs to
participate in the programme. The participation of entrepreneurs is important because they know the
labour market and what is necessary to change, improve or start-up. The booster team is responsible for
connecting inside and outside the region, the finance and the communication.
The benefits?
• No shortage on staff
• Everybody participates
