Promoting digital innovation for better VET skills match with the labour market to foster sustainable entrepreneurial behaviours through the introduction of 3D-technologies
The 3DECO-PRENEURS4VET project addresses the dual challenges of digital and green transformation by equipping VET trainers and learners with cutting-edge skills in 3D Modelling, Design, and Printing (3D-M-P), paired with social entrepreneurial competencies. This initiative fosters sustainable development and aligns VET modernization with labour market demands.
Additionally, VET trainers and students can contribute to innovation and research initiatives, further driving competitiveness in additive manufacturing. Global competitiveness is also at stake, as Europe must invest in its youth to maintain its leadership in 3D printing. Furthermore, this technology supports digitalization efforts, with trained youth playing a crucial role in the digital transformation of industries. Countries like Cyprus and Poland, with moderate digital scores, can benefit from such initiatives. Lastly, 3D printing offers cross-disciplinary skills in areas like design, engineering, and entrepreneurship, equipping students with versatile skills applicable across industries. VET remains vital for fostering job-specific and transversal skills, facilitating employment transitions, and keeping the workforce updated with current demands.
