You'll be able to track the new skills that you've gained after completing the activity, learn about additional programmes or events that would be perfect for you, and carve out your own individual entrepreneurial path as you work your way through each stage.

My profile

You can access this section of the app by clicking on the silhouette icon, located on the left-side of your navigation bar. This is where you can review and plan your development. The skills you will see here are based on the Employability Skills Framework, developed by the University of Oxford Careers Service, and the Entrecomp: European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework which focuses on skills that people need to be entrepreneurial and create financial, cultural or social value for others. To focus on development against these skills you may need to choose “Filter Skills” and change Organisation from “University of Oxford” to “Oxford: IDEA Programme” All activities in the Engaging with Entrepreneurship Programme are mapped to both frameworks, to help you track your skills progress. Here you can:

Check how much time you’ve logged in each of the skills areas.
Find activities mapped to the skill you wish to develop.

My goals

This section can be accessed by clicking on the target icon in your navigation bar. This is where you can:

See, review and work through the EnSpire Oxford entrepreneurship stages: Inspire, Equip, Launch and Grow.
Or, you can set up your own personal goals, populated by activities provided by EnSpire, your own activities, or a mixture of both. You may for instance wish to develop your pitching skills, and as part of your goal, you could add a couple of pitch slide deck to your target. Each time you complete your activity, your progress toward achieving the goal will be updated.
