analysed.

Reference to Competence Frameworks

Data analysis leading to the preparation of the MicroHUB Competence Matrix has been performed
with reference to the European Competence Framework (EntreComp) which defines
entrepreneurship as a competence in terms of knowledge, skills and competences, and the provision
tools that enable citizens to effectively develop this competence. The Framework includes 15
competences on an eight-level progression model, divided in three competence areas: Ideas and
Opportunities, Resources and Into action. Analysis of data collected has also been divided by the three
competence areas with the identified gaps in entrepreneurial competences listed.

Based on the key focus of the MicroHUB project on developing web tools in microbusiness actors, the
Consortium has also related to the Digital Competence Framework (DigComp 2.2.). This 2022
European Union publication provides information and examples of digital competences that citizens
need. Digital skills are among the key competences of Lifelong Learning and interconnected with the
entrepreneurship competence. The five competence areas it includes are: Information and data
literacy, Communication and collaboration, Digital content creation, Safety, and Problem solving. The
Framework has also been consulted with the preparation of the MicroHUB Competence Matrix.

Another Framework that supports the preparation of the MicroHUB Competence Matrix is The
European framework for the personal, social and learning to learn key competence (LifeComp). As
the name of the Framework, it is made up of three areas, that contribute to Lifelong Learning. While
the Social Area divided into the Communication and Collaboration competences is the most relevant
one to the MicroHUB project. The publication from 2020, in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic,
addresses the essence of different modes of communication and use of digital technology, imposed by
global situation at that time. Those descriptors of Social Area competences have also been consulted
with the preparation of the MicroHUB Competence Matrix.
