BlueDivet will bring a common knowledge of the level of offer in education provided by the Vocational Training centers to their students in order to acquire the competences required for the blue digitalization based on electronic, communication and programming. In addition, the project will bring a common knowledge for the skills needed by the marine and maritime companies.
The aim is to analyse the digital competences demanded by the labour market within the blue growth field and compare them with those actually acquired by the professionals hired to develop these functions. BlueDivet will propose complete curriculum for vocational training to narrow this gap and thus improve the employability levels. This will contribute to build evidence on the skills needs of the society through skills anticipation.
Digitalization has proven to be crucial for the development of the blue economy, but are VET schools providing the necessary training to prepare students for these job opportunities, and are companies aware of the skills of VET students?
The report from the Analysis on the state-of-the-art has gathered the necessary information through questionnaires to answer these questions and to help design a course that will increase the employability of VET students in the digitalization of Blue Economy sectors. The Report is available from here.
The output includes creation and launching of an innovative collaborative platform, an ICT-based tool, in order to foster the networking among students following the course and the companies where these skills arerequired, as well as other stakeholders. The people interested in the e-Community can access it for free and open their own profile in this social network.
