In this portfolio, you will validate and enhance your competencies using the EntreComp framework and the Finnish Olympic Committee’s future work-life skills. During the course, you will create a personal plan and review it with the course’s responsible coach. You will also demonstrate your competence development in a manner agreed upon with the coach.

You must attend one joint kick-off meeting when you want to start the course and at least one reflection session, i.e. when you present your own learning outcomes. All joint meetings are on Zoom.
