The Final Conference of the  SC2BC From School Class to Business Class  project will take place in Veghel (Netherland) on 31 March 2017 hosted by Fioretti College. From School Class to Business Class (SC2BC) is an initiative funded under Erasmus Plus programme and it based on actual demand in the educational sector, perceived from an employment oriented viewpoint. The EC and most national authorities in European countries stress the need to enhance entrepreneurship, because increasing the number of starting companies will pave the road towards increasing employment. If simply numbers are counted, SME’s are the most important creators of jobs, a fact that has been established more than once in economic research. Moreover, this approach will create new opportunities for (young) people finishing school, other than being employed.

Changes in the economic structure  and in employment structures have put entrepreneurship in the economic policy spotlights. This is reflected in EU communications (“Entrepreneurship 2020 – EU Action Plan”). In fact, SC2BC is a building block contributing to that Action Plan: the project addresses those levels and target groups in education that have not yet been addressed with entrepreneurship enhancing initiatives. The impact of the project is to increase opportunities for learners to starting their own business through targeted preparation in VET and to make this option more viable, especially for groups that until now were excluded from such privileges.
