Abstract

In the ECQA (European Certification and Qualification Association, www.ecqa.org) there are different Job Role Committee consortia which have developed training and certificates related to entrepreneurship and innovation. This paper elaborates an innovation and improvement strategy for Europe where the different consortia join forces to form a Europe wide alliance based on a pool of several modern certified job roles comprising more than 120 knowledge and training modules, 400 performance criteria and learning outcomes, as well as an online campus. The strategy is to bring these different consortia and qualifications together and create an entrepreneurship and innovation portfolio available for universities and businesses across all the European member states. An ECQA certified terminology manager qualification approach will be used to create an ontology linking all these entrepreneurship qualifications to form a European knowledge pool.
