The project strengthens cooperation between public and private stakeholders to create demand-driven VET programs. By fostering partnerships, we ensure that VET institutions are equipped to deliver high-quality, opportunity-focused education that meets the needs of both students and employers.
We aim to improve the relevance of VET to socio-economic developments by equipping students with critical skills like entrepreneurship, adaptability, and critical thinking. This ensures graduates are prepared to meet labor market demands and achieve academic and professional success.
The project promotes inclusivity by creating environments that support diversity and empower every student’s unique learning journey. Targeted interventions address socio-economic disparities, ensuring equitable opportunities for all learners, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We focus on upskilling VET teachers in soft skills, digital literacy, and mentorship. By enhancing educators’ competencies, we create a positive and supportive culture within VET institutions, improving both teaching quality and student outcomes.
The project ensures that VET programs are tailored to the specific needs of each country, aligning with local, regional, and national development strategies. By customizing the Foundation Semester, we address the unique educational, social, and economic contexts of Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine.
Through targeted interventions and skill development, we strengthen the link between VET providers and the labor market. By preparing students with the right competencies, we ensure they are ready to succeed in their careers and contribute to sustainable socio-economic development.
