Studies and teaching involve co-operation with companies and entrepreneurship partners / networks in the region (eg Jyväskylän Yritystehdas, JES, EduFutura). The most important part of learning is your own activity and its self-assessment. You will always be prepared for meetings (such as lectures, group work). The course supports a learning culture where you, as individual and in groups, learn to face and deal with uncertainty and failure with the support of mentors, and to strengthen risk-taking, courage and decision-making, as well as the ability to put things into practice and achieve them purposefully. You work in a small group where you give birth to a business idea. You evaluate the business potential and customer value of the idea.
