Editor's Notes

  • #5 Doel is om studenten te helpen om hun dromen te evenaren
  • #6 Studenten starten immers aan de Hogent met een beeld voor ogen van wat ze later willen worden: gaande van artist, bioloog tot CEO’s van de grote firma’s
  • #7 De manier waarop ze dat hopen te bereiken, is door zich sterk te verdiepen in lectuur, onderzoek, boeken die inspelen op de thematiek rond die job
  • #9 De Hogeschool biedt hen daarnaast de kans om heel wat op te steken van ervaringsdeskundigen, die hun know-how willen delen en mooie recente voorbeelden gebruiken
  • #10 Daarna is het aan de student om te bewijzen, dat hij voldoende kennis vergaart heeft om de stap richting de droom te zetten
  • #11 En eenmaal afgestudeerd willen deze studenten dan ook al te graag de vooropgestelde richting gaan bewandelen. Maar verscheidenen onder hen blijven jammer genoeg met een aantal vragen zitten
  • #12 En zoeken dan maar naar de job die ze voor ogen hadden, waarbij ze al rap ontdekken, dat kennis niet het enige is wat ze nodig hebben, maar ook skills en ervaring
  • #14 Die net als Steve Jobs met heel wat innovatieve ideeën zitten
  • #15 Not only is Oprah Winfrey one of the richest self-made women in the world, she’s also one of the most influential according to such institutions as cnn, time, forbes and entertainment weekly
  • #16 Die net als Mark Zuckerberg een heel grote populatie aan mensen wensen te bereiken en liefst op heel korte tijd
  • #17 Waar deze mensen op voorhand vaak te laat aan denken, is dat dit heel wat financiële gevolgen met zich meebrengt
  • #18 Dat er dagen zullen volgen, waarop ze het bos niet meer zien door de bomen
  • #19 En waarbij ze constateren, dat vrouw of familie lief niet elke dag enthousiast supportert, terwijl onze ondernemer tot uren in de nacht aan het werken is
  • #20 Voor je jouw business start is het daarom belangrijk goed na te denken over welke richting je uitwil
  • #21 het opstellen van een goed en onderbouwd businessplan kan daarom sterk van pas komen
  • #22 En waarbij een ondersteunend team heel wat wonderen zou kunnen verrichten
  • #23 En die rol nemen wij met plezier op ons
  • #25 Wij zijn niet de enigen die dit sterke team vormen, maar doen hiervoor ook beroep op de studenten binnen de Hogeschool Gent
  • #27 Door creativiteitssessies aan te bieden aan startende ondernemers en ondernemende studenten en docenten
  • #28 Door ze nieuwe technieken aan te leren om tot goeie concepten te komen, waarvoor we vb onze eigen Trendspot ontwikkelden
  • #30 Door hen te informeren over wondernemende topics tijdens de infosessies voor ondernemers, docenten en studenten die we organiseren
  • #31 En door hen de zelfstandigheid te geven en toch ook een teamgevoel te creëren waarin zij meedenken aan nieuwe initiatieven om het ondernemen bij de rest van de studenten te brengen
  • #32 Door het thema ondernemen naar de campus te brengen en de studenten uit te nodigen op onze business cafés
  • #36 Door wedstrijden te organiseren, die de studenten en ondernemers aanzetten tot creativiteit en ondernemerschap
  • #37 Door infrastructuur aan te bieden van waaruit studenten een zaak kunnen opstarten en waar ondernemers en studenten die samen aan een project werken kunnen vergaderen, etc.
