Summary: Supports large-scale partnerships to develop sectoral skills strategies and training solutions, addressing skills gaps for green and digital transitions in Europe.
This funding opportunity supports Alliances for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills (implementing the ‘Blueprint’) under the Erasmus+ programme. The initiative aims to foster strategic, large-scale partnerships to design, revise, and implement sectoral skills strategies, occupational profiles, and training programmes. The focus is on addressing current and future skills gaps, particularly in the context of green and digital transitions, and supporting the European Skills Agenda and Pact for Skills. Projects should mobilize stakeholders across higher education, vocational education and training (VET), and industry to drive workforce upskilling and reskilling in alignment with the needs of the 14 industrial ecosystems identified in the New Industrial Strategy for Europe.
