Developing enterprising, self-employment and job-creation

- Creating co-operative team-entrepreneurship for young people (GFI)

- Inventing new ways to meet young people relating to entrepreneurial advising

Co-creation ’spaces’ for coordination, skills development and job-creation

- Creating new platform for entrepreneurial actors and young people together to think new ideas

- One big enterprising community should be created somewhere in Tampere to support local small businesses and start-ups (e.g. Finlayson area)

- There should be very cheap places for young entrepreneurs to start their business

- There should be one place where entrepreneurs and young unemployed people could meet face to face

Brokerage between young people and business

- Mentors from business world, giving an effort to the young people and students (GFI)

HOW SHALL WE DO IT?

LAP and Sustainability Assessment Table I

1. Strategy and policy landscape in relation to Youth Employment and promoting enterprising (hence referred to as YOUTH ISSUES- YI)

What could be done in terms of LAPs and sustainability

Tick where you think you are

1.1. The city has a definite strategy and policy landscape and partnerships in YI

The LAP needs to be fitted wisely into the existing landscape and procedures in good time

1.2. The city strategy and policy landscape on YI is rather complex, or scattered

The LAP could play a seminal role in connecting/ integrating otherwise scattered policies/initiatives

TRENTERPRISE

1.3. There is no existing YI strategy or policy and/or partnership

The LAP could be an important platform to develop a YI policy/strategy

LAP and Sustainability Assessment Table II

2. Project landscape situation in relation to YI

What could be done in terms of LAPs and sustainability

Tick where you think you are

2.1. There are a lot of YI related projects/actions and they are well connected and know of each other

The LAP needs to spell out clearly what are the connections of MGatW to these projects

2.2. There are a lot of YI related projects/actions and they are poorly connected and don’t know of each other well enough

The LAP can play a seminal role as a platform/nodal point of connecting some of the most important projects and initiatives

TRENTERPRISE

2.3. There are a very few YI related projects and actions

The LAP can spell out new initiatives concerning the YI

LAP and Sustainability Assessment Table III

3. Resource landscape What could be done in terms of LAPs and sustainability

Tick where you think you are

3.1. There are already existing resources where MGatW can be connected

Initiatives need to be made to make use of them

3.2. There are existing projects where MGatW can be connected/ used as part of MGatW

Opportunities to connect to existing initiatives need to be used

TRENTERPRISE

3.3. There are scarce or no resources yet readily available to sustain MGatW

Scouting for possibilities (city, regional, structural funds, other sources, joint initiatives etc. needs to be started immediately

LAP and Sustainability Assessment Table IV

4. Lobbying landscape What could be done in terms of LAPs and sustainability

Tick where you think you are

4.1. The MGatW project is in a good position in terms of necessary connections to decision making and important stakeholder attitudes are favourable

The development of LAP needs to take full advantage of and maintain this position

4.2. The MGatW project is in an indefinite position in terms of necessary connections to decision making and important stakeholder attitudes are hesitant or unclear

The development of LAP has the challenge of tipping the situation to clearly positive by active lobbying, , and make a definite plan how to do it

4.3. The MGatW project is in a weak position in terms of necessary connections to decision making and important stakeholder attitudes are passive and/or negative

The development of LAP has an important challenge to improve the situation, and make a definite plan how to do it
