On June 12, 2025, the closing ceremony of the fifth stage of the entrepreneurial course “Competitive Knowledge Program” took place at the Smart Caffe of the Vanadzor State University after H. Tumanyan Foundation, along with a certificate award ceremony. The course began on April 29 and lasted for about a month and a half.
At the final meeting, participants presented the business ideas they had developed throughout the course. The presentations were accompanied by constructive discussions, professional advice, and inspiring feedback. All participants received valuable guidance from the acting rector of the university, Rustam Sahakyan, as well as from the trainers.
The “Competitive Capacity Development Program” included three core components:
- Business acceleration and entrepreneurial skills
- Digital marketing
- Business communication and negotiation skills
The course was developed within the framework of the Erasmus+ CONNECT international program, aimed at strengthening ties between universities and enhancing entrepreneurial skills among youth. It is implemented by nine specialists from Vanadzor State University who received training at European partner institutions.
Now in its fifth stage, the program was held at the university’s Smart Caffe /Entrepreneurial Skills Development Center/, which provides a supportive environment for the personal and professional growth of young people. Here, students not only acquire entrepreneurial, digital, and communication skills, but also engage with experienced instructors and business representatives, participate in various events, expand their networks, and develop initiative and competitiveness.
The “Competitive Knowledge Program” will continue its mission, remaining open to new participants and promoting entrepreneurial thinking among youth at one of Armenia’s regional universities.
