Project 1
- Digital Entrepreneurship and Cyber Security Skills The share and value that Digital Entrepreneurship has for the market and economy is highlighted in the EUROSTAT statistics, which show that 59% of EU enterprises used social media, 41 % of EU enterprises used cloud computing services, 1 in 5 EU enterprises made electronic sales (e-sales), 35% o the digital businesses used Customer Relationship Management, and 22% had e-commerce sales. In general, Digital entrepreneurship has been on the rise in the last decade, with many usual and traditional entrepreneurs turning to digital either for outreaching to more customers or expanding their business circles. Due to the rapid expansion of digital entrepreneurship and the vast share in has had recently in the financial and commercial world, Digital Entrepreneurship has gained a prominent position and in all this, there is a field drawing particular attention for Digital Entrepreneurship that, of cyber security skills for digital entrepreneurs and workforce/labor force. Increasing the cybersecurity skillset for Digital Entrepreneurship makes sure that the digital economy and entrepreneurship system possess the appropriate capacity to deal with the cyber threat landscape; The frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks are rising rapidly, while at the same time the use of ICT infrastructures and technologies by individuals, organizations, and industries is increasing rapidly, with the needs for cybersecurity knowledge and competences exceeding the supply. In this context, the project aspires to address the key-makers of the digital entrepreneurship ecosystem, VET trainees, the workforce/labor force, employees, or entrepreneurs within the digital entrepreneurship ecosystem, with appropriate, contemporary, cybersecurity knowledge and skills against the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks threatening the digital ecosystem; to increase their potential in their jobs by taking advantage of ECVET credits, micro-credentials, and skill recognition.
Project 2
- In the VET ecosystem, inclusive language is crucial for non-discrimination, catering to diverse learners and educators. Discrimination risks exist based on age, gender, LGBTQIA+ status, ethnicity, culture, beliefs, and disabilities. This project aims to equip VET educators with skills in inclusive language, fostering professional growth and recognition, ultimately promoting inclusivity for all trainees.
Project 3
- VET for sustainable tourism as an urgent response to climate change Sustainable development and sustainable tourism should take full account of current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts, addressing all stakeholders in various ways while making optimal use of environmental resources and maintaining essential ecological processes as key elements in tourism development (UNWTO 2022). In this framework, addressing sustainability skills in tourism training due to the urgency of climate change may be an impactful response; the existing skills gaps for workers in tourism have been mentioned in recent years in both policy reports and academic literature with European Commission to highlight the need to address skills gaps in sustainable tourism as pretty significant (e.g. Blueprint for sectoral cooperation on skills, Mapping & performance check of the study side of tourism education & training Report); prioritizing the relevant training for staff in sustainable tourism and encouraging capacity building for employees & professionals towards sustainability in tourism industry is also a priority in the ‘European Commission Reflection Paper’ on a more sustainable Europe and in the EU 2030 Agenda, and ‘Making Tourism more sustainable- a guide for policy makers’, United Nations Environment Program & World Trade Organization). EUROSTAT statistics also highlight the value of targeting better service provision and quality in job execution in tourism professions: approximately 12.3 million persons are employed within the tourism industry, while enterprises in industries with tourism related activities accounted for 9.5% of the persons employed in the whole non-financial business economy and 22.4% of persons employed in the services sector. Our project attempts to respond to environmental and climate changes and challenges while also supporting the real practices of staff, workers, and professionals in the tourism industry as agents of fighting climate change; it also contextualizes the employees proper recognition and credentials.
