ECoVEM project brings together VET centres, polytechnics, industrial associations, social partners to establish European Cooperation platform of Vocational Excellence in Microelectronics to tackle the challenges of: digitalisation, artificial intelligence, green technologies, gender equality and technology, integration of migrants.
ECoVEM builds on and complements the strengths of national VET systems in countries with more-advanced VET and supports the not so advanced regions to achieve VET excellence. ECoVEM implements innovative instructional approaches towards life-long capacity to self-regulate learning, hard skills and soft skills using the ecosystems-based theoretical models and performance support systems.
The ECoVEM action plan for Business-Science-Education Cooperation (BSEC) in the microelectronics sector defines the directions and activities for strengthening vocational education and training (VET) as an enabler of upskilling and reskilling, sustainable development, digitalisation and resilience. This plan is based on the good practices of BSEC collected from all experienced partners at ECoVEM.
The proposed concrete actions towards sustainable competitiveness in VET include the promotion of work-based VET and apprenticeships, the involvement of industrial partners in teaching/training, the support for VET centres to act as entrepreneurial incubators and catalysts for investment, the promotion of collaborative research projects with industry and research institutions. Next to the actions aimed at supporting VET teachers in technological challenges as digitalisation, the BSEC plan recommends European and national funding instruments towards a responsive VET to economic challenges.
