Students Get to Know Ventspils Entrepreneurs
Students from Ventspils University of Applied Sciences (VUAS) visited Prego Family Kitchen, located at Ostas Street 55 in Ventspils, to explore the business environment, learn from an entrepreneur's real-life experience, and participate in masterclasses and discussions aimed at developing business skills and generating sustainable ideas.
A total of 38 students visited the company to broaden their understanding of business operations and entrepreneurial principles. During the event, students engaged in practical workshops and discussions that fostered creative thinking and collaboration. These activities provided valuable insight into the company's daily operations and management approach, as well as inspiration from real-world entrepreneurial stories.
It is worth noting that locals from Ventspils founded Prego Family Kitchen, which is currently run by siblings Lelde and Mārcis Zarāns. The company is well-known among locals for its popular pizzas.
The event was organised by students from the Faculty of Economics and Management at VUAS—Dagnija Gaidlazda, Jekaterina Gromovaja, Gvido Kārlis Beļakovs, and Sandris Krauze—under the guidance of Elīna Feldmane, Director of the Professional Bachelor's Study Program in Business Management. They noted that this initiative supports both students' career planning and their sense of belonging to VUAS and the city of Ventspils, motivating them to contribute to Ventspils' future development.
The event was implemented within the project "From Student to Entrepreneur in Ventspils", supported by the Ventspils State City Municipality's subprogram "Support for Ventspils University of Applied Sciences Students and Student Organisations", which aims to promote youth leisure activities and active recreation.
Additional activities related to Ventspils' business environment are planned within the "From Student to Entrepreneur in Ventspils" project, including masterclasses and co-creation workshops, offering a diverse and practice-based approach to students' professional growth.
