The project partners plan to keep continuous maintenance for the programme. As a consequence, the assessment tools and the toolkit of development activities below (with numerous elements of them) are available free of charge by contacting with the national developers of the four countries.

Self-assessment questionnaires
The programme offers a couple of self-assessment questionnaires to measure entrepreneurial competences, personal characteristics and social competences. They reflect the basic aspiration of the project to encourage and support self-reflection of the young people. The exercises in connection with them can be integrated into various activities of the realization.

Activities for initial assessment of general entrepreneurial competences

As a consequence, initial assessment elaborated a detailed, ten-component set of activities. Each of them enables the observation and assessment of behavioural manifestations at two-two competence areas by adapting given particular views. An example of the activities:
