How did you experience the pilot round? Were people rather tentative or keen on trying the assessment? The pilot round served as a tangible manifestation of the extensive efforts invested by the consortium over the preceding years. The students displayed remarkable eagerness in participating in the survey, driven by a genuine thirst for understanding their individual levels of entrepreneurial competence. Notably, employees who have a commitment to lifelong learning readily embraced the opportunity, rendering the process of persuasion comparatively straightforward.

Were the findings largely what was expected within your team or did it deviate a lot from your previous thoughts? Since the pilot is currently ongoing, we have not been able to analyse the results of the data.

What is your conclusion after the implementation of the pilot round (in your organisation)? The pilot round underscored the profound significance of EICAA and the transformative potential inherent in conducting surveys within educational institutions and companies. The invaluable insights gleaned from these surveys have the capacity to empower companies and schools alike in cultivating a more entrepreneurship-oriented educational experience for their employees and students.
