FRED is built to be measured.
Every participant completes the FRED Entrepreneurial Mindset Index (FEMI) at the start and end of the programme, giving us - and the funders and partners who back us - real evidence of the shift we create, not just the activity we run.
The FRED Entrepreneurial Mindset Index (FEMI).
Interest and confidence in entrepreneurship
Confidence in entrepreneurship as a potential pathway toward financial security.
A fostered entrepreneurial mindset
A sought-after mindset for companies sourcing new talent.
A Business Model Canvas for a business idea
A business idea with the conviction to pursue it.
Awareness of the use of AI in business
Practical insights and ideas on applying AI within businesses.
FEMI is combined with module completion, attendance, tangible artifacts (the Business Model Canvas and the pitch) and progression tracking into a single evidence base.
Two years of work.
Hear it from them.
In their own words.
"The program has bridged between education and fun. The sessions are not boring at all… it's genuinely one of the lessons I look forward to during the day."
"This program has been helpful. I've learned a lot about entrepreneurship and it has changed my mindset about entrepreneurs. At this moment and time I would consider being an entrepreneur because of FRED."
"FRED has changed my whole mindset over this two months past. I literally had a mind shift in a very good way - I learnt things about myself I didn't know."
"After three months with FRED, the biggest shift for me isn't just how I run things, it's how I show up for people… FRED taught me that doing things right starts with doing right by the people."
"It's been an amazing journey, and we're not even done yet. I have been inspired to do over and above of what I thought I could do. This was an eye opener to the possibilities out there if only we put our minds to it."
What impact actually looks like.
