In his remarks at the Da Nang Startup Council-held Wednesday seminar on innovative startup training in Da Nang, municipal People's Committee Vice Chairman Le Trung Chinh affirmed that the ultimate goal of training not only creates entrepreneurs, but more importantly, arousing entrepreneurship spirit amongst young generations.

Vice Chairman Chinh said, the city is making a plan to organise innovative startup training in the city for the 2019 - 2025 period, with the intention of designing and proposing frameworks for training programmes at the city-based universities and educational institutions.

At the seminar, the participating delegates proposed many effective plans to promote creative startup training for the young.

As for teaching methods in schools, Dr. Nguyen Thi My Huong, the Deputy Director of the city-based VN-UK Institute for Research and Executive Education, introduced 3 models applicable to schools for consideration.

In detail, for schools that do not have their own startup ecosystems, it is highly possible to build innovative startup-themed modules with the active involvement by startup experts. Another way is to combine the conventional knowledge of entrepreneurial spirit with the lean startup business model. Besides, it is a good idea to focus on teaching the most popular approaches nowadays, namely design thinking and lean startup.

In regard to training given to out-of-school youths, Dr. Vu Xuan Truong, the Director of the Research and Development Centre of the Da Nang Business Incubator, proposed that training courses should continue running from basic to advanced levels, with a focus on balancing and integrating 3 elements: knowledge, skills, and experience.
