The consortium aLIFEca wanted to achieve: - To prepare an innovative MOOC course (MOOC aLIFEca) with practical examples, covering the area of sustainable approach in Automotive industry, including Life Cycle Assessment which training content structure and skills coverage would be based on the identified needs from the strategic DRIVES project and further consulted in details with sectoral stakeholders to understand the latest skill needs and specific requirements in Automotive. The training structure would follow highest quality standards and have massive impact on target groups because during the project duration in the pilot phase the course was moderated in order to have direct contact with pilot participants and multiply the impact and also gather further feedback. - To widely spread the MOOC aLIFEca to be available free of charge to everybody interested for MOOC courses and offer innovative and interactive training course delivery. To share directly to Automotive Skills Alliance partnership as Pact for Skills for Automotive-Mobility Sector. - To map the MOOC aLIFEca to EU-wide database of training and education courses offered towards Automotive Ecosystem.
The project was addressed to following needs: 1. A NEED FOR INNOVATIVE EDUCATION PRACTICES IN PANDEMIC PERIODS The world threatened by the global covid-19 pandemic shew the importance of digital forms of teaching. Successful digitization in education requires courses and trainings providing high quality education with verifiable information based on scientific knowledge. MOOCs prepared by specialized professional groups composed of experts and education specialists, they meet high requirements for the teaching of high quality. 2. A NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE APPROACH IN ALL INDUSTRIAL SECTORS IMPORTANT FOR THE EU ECONOMY The understanding of the potential environmental impacts and overall sustainable approach is a part of the strategy in the Automotive/mobility ecosystem. The automotive industry is committed to environmental goals, including carbon neutrality by 2050. 3.A NEED FOR UP/RE SKILLING ACTIVITIES OF WORKERS IN AUTOMOTIVE The shift to green mobility, rapid technological development causes the unprecedent transformation of the Automotive Industry and overall ecosystem restructuralization. This results in the need for massive support of up-/re-skilling activities of current and future workforce.
