Disseminating European experience on development of entrepreneurship skills of ex-prisoners
Researches carried out in different countries show that ex-prisoners who find stable employment are more likely to
succeed in life outside prison than those who do not. However, former prisoners often have inadequate education,
underdeveloped work skills and other difficulties, which create significant obstacles when seeking employment. That is
why it is very important to improve learning and skills opportunities for offenders, both in prisons and in the
community, so that they are less likely to re-offend and have a better chance of moving into jobs and playing a positive
role in society. The project "Disseminating European experience on development of entrepreneurship skills of exprisoners"
will develop specific methodological tools to provide ex-prisoners with skills necessary for creation a
successful business (how to know your customer, test and protect your product, test distribution, create a business plan,
find the best legal structure, business model, organization plan, marketing plan, financial plan, put together a start up
team, etc.) or for finding adequate employment (handling paperwork, finding employment support programs, locating
jobs, preparing for interviews, filling out applications and answering questions about having been incarcerated, etc).
The project will be developed by various types of institutions (training / consulting centres, NGOs, universities, prisons)
having experience in different European countries.
