The Entrepreneurial Skills Pass (ESP)
The Entrepreneurial Skills Pass (ESP) is an international certification of skills and experiences for businesses eager to hire students with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Initiated with the support of the European Commission by JA Europe, the ESP is now a global initiative endorsed by the Organization of the American States and selected by the World Economic Forum as one of 16 Education 4.0 Lighthouses—examples of public-private collaborations that are reimagining the childhood learning experience and can serve as inspiration for educators, parents, policymakers, and employers
ESP includes a full-year in-school JA Experience, a self-assessment of entrepreneurial competences, an examination of business, economic and financial knowledge and the possibility to access further opportunities offered by small and large businesses, top higher institutions and international organizations across Europe. ESP is a certification that students can add to their CV and use to pursue further education, to enter the world of work or to start their own business. For schools and teachers, the ESP is a full package to support entrepreneurial learning outcomes and to provide students with the skills and competencies employers are looking for.
