EntreComp in Focus Let us now take a detailed look at the EntreComp Framework and the key entrepreneurial competences it outlines. EntreComp consists of 3 competence areas with 15 specific competences that are broken down further into 60 threads that describe what each competence means in practical terms. The threads are clearly defined through learning outcomes that can be learnt, understood and then put into practical action. The learning outcomes are mapped across 8 different levels of progression, from beginner though to expert. Please review diagram 3.1 below for an outline of the full framework. Diagram 3.1: EntreComp Framework Outline 3 Competence Areas & 15 Competences Diagram 3.2 below outlines the 3 competence areas and 15 competences identified within the framework. The 3 competence areas of ‘ Ideas and Opportunities’ , ‘ Resources’ and ‘ Into Action’ are designed to “directly mirror the definition of entrepreneurship as the ability to turn ideas into action that generate value for someone other than oneself” (EntreComp, 2016). These 3 competence areas of the conceptual model are tightly intertwined and intrinsically linked. Across these 3 competence areas the framework then focusses on 15 key entrepreneurial competences that make up the ‘building blocks’ of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial mindset. These 15 competences are also “interrelated and interconnected and should be treated as parts of a whole” (EntreComp, 2016).
