H4growth
VET Schools
Heritage4Growth (Heritage for Growth) helps establish a new paradigm for upskilled pathways in entrepreneurial education by addressing the changing nature of ICT, with multiple users interacting with multiple technologies. Boosting green skills considering the 17 SDG and the EU Green Deal.
The tourism industry, its content, its organisation and design, its regulation and protection, are all undergoing great changes very much accelerated with the advent of the COVID-10 pandemic. Tourism creates employment for people of different ages and skill levels with around half of the tourism workforce in OECD member countries working in small and medium enterprises or SME’s (OECD, 2018). According to Eurostat (2020) 11.7 million Europeans, 9% of the labor market were employed in tourism.
Still, COVID-19 impacted negatively the tourism industry as any other sector: the shutdown of the economy in an attempt to contain transmission led to the layoff of 5.7 million EU workers in the first six months of 2020 (EUROFOUND:2021, “Living and Working in Europe”). As employment steadily returns and digital connectivity increases significantly, the need for digital skills is imperative.
ACCED
VET Schools
The concept of traditional education has changed radically in recent years and especially in this global situation of the virus. The physically present teacher in a classroom is no longer the only learning option. Currently, students can access quality education as long as they have access to a computer. We can say that we are now entering a new era – the online education revolution. And the teachers, it means they can teach from anywhere, but the most important thing is to be prepared for it. Most teachers are focused on teaching techniques, curriculum materials, and test scores. Teachers focus on what the students learn and not on the real needs of the students.
