WP3: Upscale skills to Blue market challenges

Lead beneficiary: RLU

Participants: Uvigo-CdM, ICSEM, Port of Vigo, Aclunaga, LRU, CIT, MI, Cespesca, IMDO

Objectives:

Following the conclusions drawn from the demands of the industry and training weaknesses, a set of courses and webinars on key sectors will be developed. The programme of the courses and webinars will include actions taught by professionals from the private sector aimed at teachers to update certain aspects of training in response to the new challenges of the companies and courses developed by university and VAT education, combining experts from the countries included in the consortium for students and recent graduates. At least, one course will be implemented per sector in each consortium country, involving in the design and development experts from each country of the Consortium. The courses will have a knowledge exchange programme in order to promote the mobility of professionals and young graduates throughout the training centres of the consortium countries. Additionally, a webinar tool will be designed and linked to the platform to support digital seminars.

Deliverables:

• D 3.1 Digital Knowledge Transfer Tools (CIT, M10)
• D 3.2 Award Criteria for courses application (LRU, M10)
• D 3.3 Summary report of Courses implemented (LRU, M23)
• D 3.4 Summary report: promotion of human capital exchange (UVigo-CdM, M24)
