STRUCTURE OF THE CENTRE

1 The center can be created in two ways: the Center as a new structural unit and the Center on the basis of a previously existing center (coworking, career, employment, etc.).

The first method is advisable for those universities that did not have similar structural units before. The second method is more suitable for universities that have already established large career centers, employment centers, Additional Education Centers, Competence Development Centers, or other structures that perform a significant part of the functions related to the business environment.

2 The creation of the Center in CA partner universities will take place in accordance with the model developed within the framework of the MIETC project and the Standard Regulations of the Center. At the same time, the specifics, profile, and needs of each university, as well as the requests of employers and the requirements of academic committees should be taken into account.

3 Structurally, the Center may include the head of the center, offices, managers, tutors, instructors, and coaches. It can involve tutors, instructors, coaches, and other categories of specialists by contract.

4 The structure and staff of the Center of each specific university are determined by the staffing of the university and approved by the Rector. Functional duties, rights, responsibilities, and working conditions of each category of employees should be reflected in job descriptions approved by the Rector of the university.

5 The integration of the Center at the institutional level will manifest itself through the creation of new connections, the redistribution of authorities and responsibilities, and structural (merger, division), and personnel (assignment, reassignment) changes in other departments.

6 The Center closely cooperates with departments and faculties and also participates in various forms of integration of the university with the business environment (business incubators, coworking centers, educational, scientific, and production complexes, etc.) on the development of professional competencies.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP CENTER

1 Internal funds of the institution/organization on the basis of which the Center was established and operates, and the balance of which includes the remuneration of the Center's staff;

2 Funds received in the form of sponsorship from interested parties;

3 Funds of various foundations offering and organizing competitions of entrepreneurial projects, etc.;

4 Funds received from organizing and conducting professional development courses, and other image events aimed at popularizing the activities of the Center;

5 Funds of regional institutions for the development and support of entrepreneurship;

6 Customer funds for research and development in the field of technological entrepreneurship;

7 Funds gained from participation in grant topics and projects initiated by the relevant Ministries of the country.

EVALUATION/QUALITY ASSURANCE

1 Internal assessment (self-assessment):

1.1 The Center carries out regular monitoring and analysis of its activities, and provides revision of training programs, courses, and other products of its activities, including assessment:

- relevance of the content of the offered programs and services;

- compliance with the changing needs of all stakeholders and operating conditions;

- the effectiveness of the programs and services offered, as well as the activities in general.

1.2 The Center is subject to internal audit.

1.3 The Center plans and implements actions to resolve risks and realize opportunities. Risk management and the realization of opportunities create the basis for improving the effectiveness of the quality management system, obtaining improved results, and preventing negative effects. Opportunities may arise as a result of a situation favorable for achieving the desired results, for example, a set of circumstances that allow the Center to attract consumers, develop new products or services, reduce losses, or increase productivity. Actions to realize opportunities may also include taking into account the relevant risks. Risk is the influence of uncertainty and any such uncertainty can have both positive and negative effects. A favorable deviation caused by risk may lead to opportunities, but not all the positive effects of risks turn into opportunities.

2 External evaluation (monitoring, questionnaires, interviews, etc.):

2.1 External evaluation of activities is carried out by external experts at various organizational levels. Responsibility for the effectiveness and efficiency of the Center is assigned to the head of the center.

3. The work provided by the joint plans of departments and enterprises is carried out by the participants of the Centre free of charge, except in cases of scientific research and experimental work.
