Small and media enterprises often lack the resources or expertise to navigate the complexities of digital transformation. ASSISTANT project addresses this by preparing professionals with relevant digital skills, enabling small and media enterprises to remain competitive and innovative. Kaunas University of Technology, Fachhochschule des Mittelstands University of Applied Sciences, Tallinn University and University of Aberta are at the forefront of education digitization, there remains a critical gap in digital competences among professionals, particularly in small and medium enterprises by integrating fields like Big Data, Artificial intelligence, Robotics, and Digital Education into studies. The partnership universities are strongly involved into the education digitization processes, however we have a close contact with business and industry organizations, by preparing /adapting study modules for specific needs of small and medium enterprises. Our focus in the ASSISTANT project is not only on the participants in education digital transformation, but also on business sector, where the prepared professionals of digital transformation are missing competences in Big data, Digital education, Artificial intelligence, Robotics and this need to be included to the study programs or for lifelong learners fully online courses. Following the need of challenge-based learning implementation methodology we assure direct students contacts with business and industry organizations.
