The main aim of the Project CREATIVE AGENTS was to support VET providers in adapting their training offers to meet the changing skills needs in the CCI sector, thereby expanding the training to include more sustainable, green, and digital skills. This was achieved by creating a new job profile, the Creative Agent, who encompassed entrepreneurial spirit, digital know-how, and a green approach to their practice.
