Through our project VET students could strengthen their vocational skills, i.a.: - boost knowledge and awareness regarding environmental issues such as: climate change, renewable energy sources, smog and carbon footprint; - gain and expand specific knowledge in the field of design, engineering and dedicated graphic design software platforms taking the selected environmental issues into account while designing; - develop passions and vocational competences leading to the choice of a career pathway; - boost digital and media literacy for effective online promotion purposes; - increase interest in STEAM-based approach to acquire peculiar skills, making their position in the labour market much stronger; - increase employability opportunities through the development of specific skills. Through the implementation of this project all partners equipped VET students specialised in engineering with the adequate vocational, specific and unique skills which will allow them to work more effectively and competitively in the EU labour market, take advantage of advanced technologies and prevent labour market mismatches in a long-term perspective.
Rapidly-changing rules that govern the competitive labour market force teachers, educators and also students to respond to the needs of the economy which entail educational challenges. Young people should swiftly adapt to the rapidly changing labour market through a skills revolution in the scope of green and digital transitions. EU recommendations anticipate for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience. The consortium decided to follow a more digitalised and sustainable approach leading to acquiring specific skills by VET students. Through this project we wanted to increase an interest in quality VET education, among students and teachers, enhance their unique and transversal skills, increase their adaptability to rapidly-changing labour market, attract their attention to the process of digitisation in education, as well as tendencies to green economy. At the same time we aspired to equip them in non-trivial competences, which will make them outstanding in the competitive labour market. Through STEAM education we wanted to increase science literacy, develop problem solving and communication skills, increase team collaboration and creativity among VET students.
