VET HUB readiness test

This questionnaire helps you explore your institution's readiness to develop a VET Entrepreneur HUB.
The test takes about 10 minutes to complete. Your results will provide a snapshot of your HUB's strengths and areas for development, offering practical insights and guidance for next steps. You will see 30 statements covering three levels: MICRO (students and teachers), MESO (regional and national ecosystem), and MACRO (European benchmarks). For each statement, select Yes, Maybe, or No to indicate how accurately it reflects your current situation. There are no right or wrong answers; the purpose is to help your institution reflect, prioritize, and plan its entrepreneurial learning environment more effectively.
