Project Work Packages

This Work Package lead by ISEKI aims at establishing a general overview of the labor market in agriculture, forestry and related sector (including the bio-economy) in order to define present and future skills needs.

This will be accomplished through:

Analysis of the state of the art, both on content and on EU instruments for skills transferability (ESCO, ECVET, ECTS), with a database incorporated in the webpage of the project.
Analysis of the state-of-the-art in terms of training content, related to agriculture and forestry
Mobilisation of all relevant stakeholders following a multi-actor approach
Participation of stakeholders to focus groups to define future trends and skills needs
Multiplication of the focus groups outputs through bottom-up surveys
Analysis of the future trends in the topics of the call: Sustainability, Digitalisation and Bioeconomy through scenarios and forecasting analysis.

This Work Package lead by UNITO aims at creating relevant educational contents and curricula to answer the skill gap identified in WP1 and WP2.

Perform an analysis of the methodologies used during the training

Provide the outline of the curricula that will be later implemented at country level
Develop the apprenticeship scheme, for the work-based period that involves agriculture, agri-food and forestry
Develop the training content for online session
Develop the training content for trainers and in-class activities.
The material will be carefully designed to provide EQF level 4 training in the domains of sustainability, bio-economy and digital skills, to enhance innovation uptake in agriculture, forestry and bio-economy.

The training materials will have a common part related to soft skills, and a regional part to match the skills needed by different countries that will carry the training in Europe.

This Work Package lead by ICOS aims at ensuring the long term sustainability of the strategy and training materials, , its future use and the national roadmaps implementation, as well as the curricula uptake by external VET providers.

These aims will be reached with:

– provision of national and EU regulatory frameworks for training and innovation opportunities
– provision of national and EU funding opportunities design of sustainability – plan and future use of the platform, with exploitation of project results
– plan for future engagement of the stakeholders

This Work Package lead by ACTIA aims to ensure to reach the largest possible target audience while advertising the project results. ACTIA, with its extensive experience in project dissemination will coordinate this WP. In this WP, the network of the associated partners and of the entity supporting the project (COPA-COGECA, see letter of support in the annex) will also be used for a wider reach of farmer association and cooperatives.

First, a website will be developed to present the project and to promote the project results.

Dissemination plan will be developed by ACTIA with the help of the partners to support the outreach of the project to the target audiences in the participating countries and following successful validation to other countries. National and EU stakeholders will also be included.

The stakeholder engagement and dissemination plan will be carried out through different means and channel for promotion, with the deployment of many activities in the dissemination campaign that will consider: Facebook, Twitter, newsletters, participation at dissemination events, press releases, distribution of leaflets, YouTube videos and AdWords campaign
