🔖 The perspectives shared in the roundtable revealed a deep understanding of how engineering, intertwined with societal needs, can lead to innovative and sustainable solutions.

🔖 Professors emphasized the need for curricula to address global engineering challenges, fostering a broader perspective.

🔖 From the business angle, externships in companies with strong CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programs were suggested to provide real-world experience in balancing profit with responsibility.

🔖 The roundtable focused on promoting diversity and inclusivity in engineering and brought varied strategies to the fore. So, a gender diversity advocate pushed for mandatory gender quotas to enrich problem-solving with diverse perspectives.

🔖 On November 30th, 2023 the "Business and Education Partnership" (BEP) Foundation, in collaboration with the Lori Regional State College as a partner in the "Eastern Partnership Development of Social Entrepreneurship Structures for VET Institutions" project, hosted a round table discussion under the "Development of Capacities in VET" program.

🔖 This dynamic session unfolded at the Yerevan State College of Technology, representing a departure from our customary venue of hotels. The decision to host the event at our esteemed partner college was intentional, fostering a more collaborative and immersive atmosphere.

🔖 This choice not only created a unique ambiance but also garnered the attention of stakeholders towards Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions. By emphasizing the significance of VET education and institutions for the economy and labor market, we aimed to elevate their importance in the eyes of key stakeholders.

🔖 The round table centered around the prerequisites for establishing social enterprises in the engineering field, delving into the challenges and development trends of existing social enterprises, as well as addressing the problems and obstacles faced by such enterprises.

🔖 Attendances were directors and teachers from engineering and IT VET institutions, representatives from NGOs, and employers from the sector, all of whom collaborate closely with the colleges.

🔖 The foundation's president Ms. Jamkochian delivered a comprehensive presentation on the program, highlighting its relevance and necessity for RA colleges. The discussion covered challenges, opportunities, potential avenues for cooperation, and other pertinent aspects of the initiative.

📌 The project is implemented jointly with the EaP countries and European countries - Italy, Greece, Austria and Luxembourg. The official consortium partner in Azerbaijan is Education HUB.

🖇️ Gulnara Ismailova, Program Manager of Education HUB, made an opening speech. During her speech, she gave detailed information about the "Development of Social Entrepreneurship Schemes for Vocational Education Institutes" Program.

🖇️ Nigar Ismayilzade-Asgarova, deputy head of the Department of Work with Employers and Innovative Projects of the State Agency for Vocational Education, emphasized the importance of establishing a dialogue between Vocational Education Institutions and the private sector, as well as learning new international practices for vocational schools.

🔹 Then, speakers Abil Bayramov made presentations on "The current state of the Social Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in Azerbaijan" and Namig Mammadov on "Social entrepreneurship in the context of vocational education, stakeholder analysis and new challenges".

🔹Participants in the roundtable, comprising representatives from the public and private sectors as well as vocational education, talked about and offered ideas for creating creative solutions to address social issues in vocational education through social entrepreneurship, particularly in the areas of industry and engineering:

©️ "I think the main problem is the lack of awareness about social entrepreneurship. We work with youth as our main target audience. We create conditions for them to get experience in factories and start working. In this way, we support the provision of employment" said Gunel Musayeva, chief human resources specialist of Sumgayit Technology Park.

©️ "If we look at the development of the business sector, social entrepreneurship is new for our country. More support is needed in this area. I would suggest to have this approach more inclusive." - said Shalala Kamilova, CIPE, Program Manager.
