In line with the Council Recommendation on Key Competences for Lifelong Learning, the project was implemented with the aim of: - Supporting providers of Continuous Vocational Education and Training in building a CVET (Continuing Vocational Education and Training) path that promotes the systematic integration of key and transversal competences alongside the development of the necessary technical skills for starting and developing businesses; - Facilitating, through the profile and network of stakeholders activated by the project partnership, greater permeability between disciplines, levels, and sectors of education to promote the professional development of CVET trainers engaged in entrepreneurship and corporate well-being topics, and strengthening collaboration between businesses, CVET providers, and other stakeholders; - Increasing the attractiveness of CVET and enhancing the accessibility of training initiatives promoted by the Erasmus+ program to learners facing disadvantages related to geographical factors (particularly those from rural and remote areas), limited English language proficiency, and physical disabilities.
The EU-leadS project has successfully pursued the aim of exploring, systematizing, and testing virtuous practices and approaches in the field of entrepreneurial self-leadership, filling an existing gap in cutting-edge continuous professional development programs for holistic entrepreneurial development. The initiative was born out of needs identified in the face of the economic and financial crisis of the past decade, and further exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. These events have made it increasingly urgent to change the paradigm in the European labor market and skills landscape. The goal is to ensure that the resilience and sustainable development of enterprises are fostered not only through adequate and periodically updated technical skills, but also through essential transversal components for individual psycho-physical well-being, sustainable relationships, and, therefore, conducive to good business performance. This approach has been synthesized in the document "Elements of Self-Leadership" as well as the other project results.
