Consultant bakery-micro-enterprise incubator

The European Institute of Cooperation and Development (Institut Européen de Coopération et de Développement in French or IECD) is seeking a consultant to study the feasibility and create a “turnkey” bakery business concept for young entrepreneurs.

With its partner Apprentis D’Auteuil, IECD plans to design and pilot a micro enterprise incubator mechanism that addresses the specific needs of disadvantaged youth graduating from a hospitality or catering vocational training center in order to allow them find work through self-employment.

The incubator will be built on a “turnkey” concept to allow beneficiaries to launch their entrepreneurship project based on pre-defined concept and standards.

The initiative will be implemented in two main phases:

- Preliminary study aimed at creating a turnkey bakery business concept for young entrepreneurs

- Implementation of the incubator mechanism over a period of maximum 9 months

The purpose of the assignment is to conduct the preliminary study that will inform the second phase of the initiative.

The study will mainly focus on defining

· The practical steps to launch and operate a food micro-business

· The training approach to be taken in order to equip beneficiaries with the skills required to launch and successfully operate a food micro-business
