SKILLS PANORAMA: Skills intelligence provided by Cedefop promoted PoVE Water project
In Europe the Water sector faces several challenges. Besides increasing periods of draught and the transition towards a circular economy, the water sector labour market is dealing with an aging workforce.
With the promotion of the PoVE Water project on SKILLS PANORAMA: Skills intelligence provided by Cedefop (see here), we want to make sure to promote the sector as on of the top sectors for youth to work in and to ensure that the current workforce is keeping up with the rapid innovations of the sector.
SKILLS PANORAMA by Cedefop presented the PoVE Water project as follows:
The project intends to create the infrastructure necessary to embed vocational excellence in the water Sector in Europe, thus laying the grounds for vocational curriculum development and consequently Competence development of VET students.
Vocational Education and training (VET) has an important role to play in contributing to the “knowledge triangle”, as well as to innovation and “smart specialization” strategies that lead to sustainable growth and social cohesion. Some Member States already include VET as part of their innovation clusters and strategies. However, these are still rare exceptions.
The PoVE Water Excellence project brings together VET institutions, the water industry, research centers, Higher Education governmental institutions, and water sector representatives from the Netherlands, Malta, Latvia, Scotland, Czech Republic, and Belgium. These partners share a common interest in developing the full potential of VET institutions to play a proactive role in support of growth, competitiveness, and innovation of the water sector.
With the Platform of Vocational Excellence Water project has reached its half waypoint. The first important step was to create a close understanding of the Skill ecosystem of the water sector in each country and gaining in-depth knowledge about the economic and societal needs. By making a so-called context scan of each country involved, the project has provided a strong basis to build the Centers of Vocational Excellence Water on. The partners in the Platform of Vocational Excellence have taken the following steps over the last year.
Step 1: Mapping the stakeholders
Step 2: Map developments and determine your starting position
Step 3: Gain in-depth knowledge
Step 4: Develop your Business Model Canvas
