Introduction

EULEP is a project co-funded by the European Union (in casu, by the European Education and Executive Agency (EACEA/Contracting Authority) with a consortium of 20 organisations (beneficiaries) established in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Italy, Latvia, Spain and Turkey.

The project partners work together to:

  • make Continuing Vocational Education and Training (C-VET) more attractive for lifelong learning,
  • offer businesses new and tailor-made training modules that correspond to their skills needs in innovation-oriented subjects (artificial intelligence, virtual reality and social innovation),
  • establish or reinforce knowledge triangles at the regional and national level thanks to the triangulation business – VET provider – European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH),

The project activities directly target VET providers, companies, potential VET learners from different horizons, EDIHs, public authorities and other stakeholders involved in the VET governance process or dealing with VET more widely.

Some 500 companies take part in the different activities indicating their skills needs, evaluating and testing project outcomes. 24 VET trainers will be trained in 1 European Learning Academy, learning the 3 modules and training paths, and will in a second step train in total 240 VET trainers and 480 company employees/workers in their respective countries. 160 participants will join regional multiplier events, and a much higher number will benefit from the information provided during the wide VET promotion campaigns. Regional VET Councils will draft 8 smart VET strategies and 8 action plans to put the project outcomes on a sustainable footing. 2 major project events will gather some 170 stakeholders.
