Castlereagh Enterprises Ltd working in partnership with 10 EU Countries from December 2007 - November 2009 have recently completed the SET project which was funded by the EU Executive Agency. Partners included Northern Ireland, Greece, France, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Estonia and Italy. 

The programme aimed to develop an innovative training package in order to assist the training of entrepreneurs in EU countries.

The SET training course was developed and adapted through a number of activities involving trainers in the area of entrepreneurship over a two year period.  Activities included the following:

• Needs analysis via structured questionnaires
• Expert Evaluation from trainers in the area of entrepreneurship.
• Pilot testing of SET course contents in United Kingdom
• Pilot testing of SET course contents in Estonia
• G3 course testing of the SET course contents in Italy

These activities ensured that the end user of the training course (trainers in the area of entrepreneurship) were involved in all stages of course contents development so that our final course matches their needs and wants.  Using feedback and input from across the 10 partner countries ensured that the European dimension of the SET project. 

The SET partnership held a final conference in Budapest, Hungary in November 2009 in order to disseminate the SET final results.
