As a conclusion, the round table with the
stakeholders and the survey that was conducted with the help of digital experts
showed that the program is a very important tool for both women entrepreneurs
and digitalization coaches. After processing the contribution of all partners,
you can find below some recommendations regarding the implementation of the
Curriculum Prototype, as suggested by the seven countries:
In
order to get the maximum effect from this program, it is necessary to
finance the development of detailed curricula for all the proposed modules.
An
effective measure for the implementation of the program can be the creation
of a club or cluster of digitalization experts, both on an international and
local level of each country.
A
search for effective information technologies for small businesses should be
carried out on an ongoing basis, since new technologies appear all the time.
One
of the best ways to implement the Curriculum into training practice is to
use it in the economics and entrepreneurship study programs of universities,
colleges, and specialized business courses.
Due
to the fact that micro-medium businesses don’t have the appropriate
technical knowledge, a public (or institutional) help is needed.
Bureaucracy is still a main obstacle that women have to overcome in order to
set up their own business. We recommend a simplification of all the
procedures in which women need to proceed as well as the digitalization of
public sector’s services.
Partners stated that several regional and national policies are not
developed enough for women entrepreneurs. As a result, there is the need for
a fully equal opportunities approach.
In
order to implement the Curriculum in the most effective way, participants
recommended an adjustment into the legal aspects of each country
(legislation, circumstances and needs).
Participants of the roundtable supported the training program and proposed
its dissemination and distribution among entrepreneurs using the websites of
various foundations and unions.
A
suggestion was made regarding the adaptation of the training program for
territorial communities in order to prevent migration of able-bodied
population.
Also, the impact that Covid-19 had on small and medium businesses should be
taken into account for the implementation of the training program.
