Clone of Reforms for entrepreneurship studies!
In the EduFutura collaboration, EF educational institutions (JYU, Jamk and Gradia) working life, entrepreneurship and project courses, events and entrepreneurship support are gathered together on both Edufutura's and educational institutions' websites and in a Thinglink -illustration. In addition to this, EduFutura educational institutions supplement a joint entrepreneurship path with their own offer, some of which are also open to students from other EduFutura educational institutions. The purpose of working life and entrepreneurship studies is to help the student to understand different career options and to expand the horizon of possibilities and to develop an entrepreneurial way of working and to learn the methods of idea development. Those interested in entrepreneurship are supported in developing a business idea and growing their business according to their needs.
EduFutura's joint EF Entrepreneurship studies will be renewed from autumn 2024. Dreams+Inspiration! The (3 credits) course continues as usual and the realizations are 3 times a year – in the fall one in English and in the spring two realizations in Finnish. Implementation dates:
- Dreams+Inspirations! 30.10. – 11.12.2024 (EN)
- Unelmat+Inspiraatio! 29.1.-26.3.2025 (FI)
- Unelmat+Inspiraatio! 7.5. – 11.6.2025 (FI)
DreamUp event production course will be removed from the offer due to low demand, and the Entrepreneurship Stories -course (2 credits) selected by the University of Jyväskylä will be replaced, which has previously been part of EduFutura's course offerings. In the Entrepreneurship Stories -course, after getting oriented to think about your own relationship with entrepreneurship, you will hear the stories of different entrepreneurs. At the end, we will reflect on what we have learned and hear about the support in Central Finland for entrepreneurship. The study period starts at the end of January and ends at the end of April. The entrepreneurship Stories -course is organized on-site and remotely in alternating years. Date of implementation:
27.1.-30.4., lectures mainly on Mondays. (Most of the lectures in Finnish)
As EduFutura studies, the JA Company Program -course (1-5 ECTS) is also available for higher education students. During the study period, the student uses JA Company Program -materials and platforms at: JA Company Program and gets the opportunity to carry out business activities during the academic year with the Business ID of the JA Company Program and participate in the national competition and thus the international competition. You can complete the course at any stage of your studies.
Registration for study courses is done in the educational institutions' own systems, but the credits are awarded from different educational institutions. During the Study Period, the teacher gives instructions for transferring the performance to your own study register.
At JYU, in addition to JYU students, the EduFutura collaboration offers Jamk students the Näkökulmia työelämä study course and the international Creating Careers study course, where the student can pick the most suitable set of the most interesting working life topics and write a learning diary about it. The course is open throughout the year and you can participate in it at a time that suits you best. The course is mainly completed online.
In addition to this, both JYU students and Jamk students are also offered the Team&Client Project course also in FORTHEM cooperation to students of the FORTHEM alliance. At JYU, news and information related to entrepreneurship can be found centrally at: www.jyu.fi/entrepreneurship
