  1. Vision In EnterpriseEvaluation

  2. OUTLINE • Purpose? • To assess the effectiveness of the project in achieving its outcomes • Outputs and Outcomes? • Tangible outputs: bespoke toolkit of learning materials and delivery methods for VET professionals • Intangible outcomes: improved access to mainstream business development and support for people with VI

  3. RATIONALE FOR VIE • Clear rationale evidenced by the Needs Analysis • Little research and consistent evidence across EU on VI participation in self-employment • Self-employment? Understanding this as enterprise and not sheltered subsidized employment • Wide range of different support models – not one nation offers an all embracing intensive support package

  4. DEVELOPING & DELIVERING VIE • Transnational Partnership • Mix of mainstream employment & business support organisations and VI support organisations • Mix became important in supporting each other as the project developed • Enabling successful functioning complex – geographical, social and cultural differences • But, clear it has worked well – a willing partnership wanting to achieve the same thing

  5. VIE OUTPUTS • VIE project successfully: • Developed initial Toolkit • Toolkit adapted and tested by Partners • Outcomes brought together into a Generic Toolkit

  6. OUTCOMES: PARTNERS • Increasing the effectiveness of the project: process of meeting to share learning fundamentally important to project success • “Different thoughts have influenced what we have done in our country. The presentations and meetings have been very motivating for us. We can see how other people are doing things and do the same here.” • “The possibility to exchange experience with different organisations that work in the same field but also in very different conditions helps to find new solutions and approaches. It too impacts on the efficiency of not only the project elements but also the future functioning of the partner organisations around the EU.”

  7. OUTCOMES: PARTNERS • Developing knowledge: • some partners further down the road in development of enterprise support. • balanced by greater knowledge in VI support of other partners • balance of mainstream and VI support partners

  8. OUTCOMES: PARTNERS • Developing knowledge through Needs Analysis • developed country/partner specific knowledge of VI, self-employment, business support mechanisms, enterprise bodies. • General knowledge about VI and self-employment

  9. OUTCOMES: PARTNERS • Developing innovative solutions to tacking issues • Toolkit viewed as real innovation – a new way of thinking about people with VI and enterprise • “VI business people was not something that we had looked at so far – particularly about giving them advice – really innovative for us.”

  10. OUTCOMES: PARTNERS • Developing new links • New links with referral organisations • Developed synergies between organisations • Raising profiles • Working together transnationally • Disseminating outcomes • Developing generic Toolkit

  11. OUTCOMES: CLIENTS • Toolkit worked through with 30 clients across Partners • Generated a number of outcomes • Small numbers but real impact • Soft outcomes – developing confidence, reducing isolation • Targeted outcomes – developing business skills, progressing businesses to start-up • 18 pre-start clients – requiring additional pre-support • 10 business development clients – ready to develop a business idea

  12. MAINSTREAMING • All partners working to contact and distribute the Toolkit • Interesting outcome? Difference in approaches taken. • Diversity in national attitudes toward VI enterprise changes mainstreaming – what and how • All have embedded the VIE project into their activities and offers

  13. CONSIDERATIONS • Key consideration for anyone working with the Toolkit is developing legacy: • developing mechanisms for capturing and show casing impact • encouraging continued development of the Toolkit – living document that changes with the landscape • gaining mainstream governmental support • This conference...carrying forward momentum and innovation – legacy and action!
