Project

Transforming Vocational Education in Rural Regions

VET5.0 promotes learner-centred vocational education, Education 5.0 and lifelong learning for Industry 4.0 and 5.0.
The project develops flexible and inclusive learning opportunities for young people, professionals, adult learners and vulnerable groups. Adaptive learning, micro-credentials and accessible entry points will allow learners to follow education pathways suited to their knowledge, experience and goals.
VET5.0 also works with educators, training providers, companies and public authorities. Together, they will develop modern teaching methods, regional skills ecosystems and stronger cooperation between education and industry.
The project focuses on artificial intelligence, robotics, additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, green manufacturing and future human-machine interaction.
