How to Start a JD enterprise project
START YOUR JD ENTERPRISE
Are you a school or community organization, teacher, a trainer at a Vocational Education and Training (VET) or adult training center looking for information on how you can get your students or trainees started with an entrepreneurship project? Are you looking for a way to include more practice-based learning and teaching in your classroom?
The JD Enterprise concept is tailored to the requirements of the business community. It is a model for practical business and entrepreneurship training that helps students and trainees to learn about the labour market and economy by putting their skills into action in a real business learning environment.
The platform operates as a for-profit company financed by subscription and through advertising from business and institutional contracts.
WHAT MAKES THE TRAINING CONCEPT STAND OUT
Real-life international business experience: Through their commerce and trade across industries, borders and cultures, trainees develop hands-on knowledge of the expectations of both the workplace and the economy in their own country as well as internationally. This real-life business experience enables trainees to experience how strategies diverge from one country to another in language, culture, legal environment and a multitude of other influencing factors.
Mentors from business sectors: A Business Mentor is a key support in developing and conducting the business activities. The mentor brings the real business world into the JD Enterprise, advising the trainer and trainees about current workplace practices and processes. They may help interview the students for their team or position within the company, suggest ways to promote their products effectively, or help them determine suitable organisational arrangements to suit their product range.
Digital competences: Because JD Enterprises uses a digital platform, trading makes use of software and online tools for accounting, banking, taxes, shipping and excise. As a result, trainees become familiar with the use of technology for business activities and simultaneously develop their IT skills.
