Advice for young people with ideas
Turning an idea into a reality is an exciting journey with many challenges to overcome.
At Gabinete de Iniciativa Joven we want to help you through this journey, so we provide a team of professionals who can help you to define your idea, find ways of carrying it out, train your enterprising skills and put you in contact with other entrepreneurs who you can establish ties with. We will show you the main resources we offer to all young people who want to turn their idea into reality in Extremadura.
Coaching Express - tailored guidance
Do you need to focus your idea... do you have doubts about how to get your project started... you don’t know under what system to establish yourself (association, company, society...)... how to target your clients... what parts a business plan has... how to plan the steps in the development of your project... you want to know about decision making tools...?
In a personal meeting with our professional team we will listen to your doubts about the different aspects related with entrepreneurial development and we will attend to you in a personalized, specific and quick manner. We don’t have the solution to all your problems, but we will try to give you direct and clear answers that may help you in your entrepreneurial adventure.
Aimed at young entrepreneurs in general, regardless of the stage of development of their project.
Meeting of applied imagination
Have you got a good idea but think it could be improved? Do you want to turn your project into a safe bet with added originality? Do you need to make your product stand out but can’t work out how to do so? There’s a single answer to all these questions: IMAGINATION. Creativity is something everyone has and that we must also learn to foster. If you are a young entrepreneur and want to use your imagination as another work tool to make you stand out from the rest, don’t hesitate to take part in the next Meeting of Applied Imagination, organised by the Gabinete de Iniciativa Joven. It will be on 14 April, from 9.30 to 19.00, in the Colegio Mayor Francisco de Sande, in Cáceres (Plaza de Pereros, 2). Make sure you register quickly, places are limited! You can register by emailing us at participa@iniciativajoven.org or by calling 924 007 309.
Tutorship for the construction of your project
Is your idea clearly defined and would you like to get it down on paper in a document that will help you define strategies and be able to make decisions?
At GIJ we offer you our resources to guide you in the construction of your project, helping you to decide issues such as: operational functioning, description of services/ products, financial statements, marketing strategies, etc. For this we design a work programme lasting about two months in which we will give you guidance via face-to-face meetings and distance methods, adapting ourselves to your time and needs.
Aimed at entrepreneurs who have a clearly defined idea and find themselves at the stage immediately prior to getting their initiative off the ground.
Expert-experienced vision at the service of young entrepreneurs
Are you dedicated to your initiative but having doubts about specific technical aspects related with your idea?
From GIJ we have created a network of professionals with wide-ranging experience and knowledge in multiple sectors: technology, marketing, IT, applied creativity, etc. Our intention is to put experience in contact with the energy of youth, with the confidence that great ideas will come out of this fusion.
Aimed at entrepreneurs whose idea is at an advanced stage and who have doubts about specific technical aspects of a field of knowledge.
Clear accounts: financial advice for entrepreneurs
Is my project viable? How much money do I need to get my project started? These are two of the most frequent questions people have when they start out, perhaps because they are proficient in the area their idea falls within but feel more insecure about doing numbers.
To answer these questions it’s a good idea to make a series of calculations and economic estimates before undertaking a project. To help you with this task we have created a service in which we work alongside you, giving you a hand with your project’s accounts in a clear and simple way, through meetings in which we advise you about your economic estimates.
Aimed at entrepreneurs whose idea is clearly defined and at an advanced stage, so permitting the financial analysis of their project to be carried out.
Have a coffee with...
Would you like to have the opportunity to chat with a professional expert about future trends, threats and challenges, and also learn more about the opportunities in your sector or field?
At Iniciativa Joven we organize meetings between small groups of young entrepreneurs and a guest specialized in a particular professional field. These are places where you can talk about the evolution of your professional field and share ideas and experiences about future possibilities and opportunities with a specialist.
This service is aimed at all young entrepreneurs who want to exchange ideas and learn.
Communicate your project
One of the main points of any idea is its public dissemination, as this is the way of making it known and, on occasions, of attracting partners or financial backers.
If you need to address an audience, transmitting competence, and give a presentation that reflects all your project’s strength, this service could prove useful.
We offer training tailored to suit you, aimed at giving you practical help to give public presentations of your project. We deal with aspects such as verbal and non-verbal communication, discourse construction, the production of presentations, etc. We work in small groups, focusing on every idea, so that you can experience the best way of making your project known before you take centre stage.
Aimed at young entrepreneurs whose project is at an advanced stage of development.
Toolkit
The workshop “toolkit” is a range of educational activities aimed at entrepreneurs whose format is five hours –one morning—, and whose contents are different each year. With this workshop we aim to provide highly practical and useful training for entrepreneurs who are creating their project. We believe in giving few ideas, but which are highly valid and can be put into action by the entrepreneurs as soon as they leave the workshop. We try to speak from everyday experience, so we invite trainers who already have their own project up and running (company, association, etc.) and who have practical knowledge of the material being dealt with.
