Athlete’s Entrepreneurship Portfolio (20cr)

Objective

Athlete’s Entrepreneurship Portfolio is a collection of an athlete’s competencies and their development, enabling you to transform your athletic career, skills, and learning into ECTS credits through an individual plan. In this portfolio, you will validate and enhance your competencies using the EntreComp framework and the Finnish Olympic Committee’s future work-life skills.

During the course, you will create a personal plan and review it with the course’s responsible coach. You will also demonstrate your competence development in a manner agreed upon with the coach. The studies may include, for example, reflection on your athletic career, planning, development, and implementation. The course can also include literature, lectures or seminars related to the topic, expert meetings, or other activities depending on your personal goals.

You can start the course in the 4th period and attend the kick-off meeting, work towards your own goals and attend the reflection session in the 2nd period. So you can plan a schedule that suits you!

Depending on their own goals, students can search for materials that support achieving their own goals.

Teaching methods

The course is delivered online (via Zoom), combining shared kickoff sessions and reflection sessions with independent work. The initial joint session includes getting to know other participants, an introduction to the course frameworks and content, as well as small group discussions and activities.

During the course, you will work independently toward your own goals. You will participate in a kickoff session at the beginning of the course and a reflection session upon completing it.

Learning is supported through a personal plan developed during the course, a learning output, and a visual presentation. Students can choose what kinds of activities and actions to include in their own work throughout the course.
