The live webinar will take place on 23 March 2020 between 11.30 and 12.30 CET and will introduce the UPSKILL project, focusing on tackling the skills shortage and skills gap in Europe.
The aim of the project is to enhance the capability of European VET systems to respond to the plastics sector-specific labour market needs by designing, piloting and implementing an innovative vocational training programme for plastics machine operators with specific emphasis on digital skills to work with robotics and other smart manufacturing technologies, as well as green skills and entrepreneurial competencies.
The project will aim to enhance the quality of vocational training; improve the competence of teachers and plastic machine operators; make VET curriculum more relevant to the labour market; and provide students and teachers with the opportunity to use digital materials.
Participants will also have the opportunity to put their questions to Gražina Žardalevičienė, Project Manager at LINPRA – the Engineering Industries Association of Lithuania, and Marc Manguin, European Project Manager at Institut Superieur de Plasturgie d'Alencon (ISPA), France.
