Future Skills for Digitized Workforce
Erasmus+ project, co-founded by the European Union
Digital competencies are one of the most important future skills in the everchanging working world. With the project Future Skills for Digitized Workforce we have empowered vocational education students from Max-Born-Berufskolleg (Recklinghausen, Germany) and Görele 13 Subat Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi (Türkiye) with respective skills prepared them for the challenges and demands of the digital age. At the same time, participating teachers have improved and adapted their teaching methods with new modern techniques.
