Our project
Context
The acceleration of innovation in various sectors has led to improved business competitiveness. These changes have transformed the way we work, generating new needs for qualified personnel, and requiring new professional profiles with updated skills and competencies. However, the rapid evolution of the labor market has not allowed vocational training to adapt quickly enough, creating a gap between professional preparation and qualifications and the real needs of companies. This situation has resulted in difficulties in finding new jobs, while companies face obstacles in implementing innovative changes due to a lack of adequately trained personnel capable of adapting to new processes.
Objectives
The overall objective of the project is to optimize employability and competitiveness in the labor market by effectively aligning the professional skills of employees and job seekers with the specific needs of strategic sectors. This will be achieved by adapting training offerings, promoting entrepreneurship in innovative sectors, and ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of policies supporting education and training for employment. The goal is to develop a highly competent and adaptable workforce that contributes to sustainable growth, fosters innovation, drives digital transformation, and increases business competitiveness. The project also seeks to offer quality learning opportunities for young people and adults, facilitating professional development, especially for individuals and groups facing difficulties in finding employment.
