You recognise the skills of your own internal entrepreneurship and use them to develop the course business idea.
Based on your experience, observations and the knowledge you have acquired, you form a conception of market needs or demand in response to which you develop your own turnkey solution/business concept (service/product concept).
You act in a multidisciplinary small group in which you reflect upon and assess the business opportunities of the idea and share their opportunities for success with other students in the course. The ideas are tested with potential customers and further developed on the basis of the feedback received.
The development and communication tools used in the assessment and development of the ideas include the Business Model Canvas and the Value Proposition Canvas.

Teaching methods
Learning methods
- Flipped learning
- project learning
The course includes workshops, group work, independent work, coaching and expert lectures. 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.
