3D2ACT: Fostering industry 4.0 and 3D Technologies through Social Entrepreneurship: An Innovative Programme for a Sustainable Future (2020-2023) https://3d2act.eu/
The 3D2ACT project will support VET trainers and educators in an attempt to strengthen their profiles with the acquisition of new skills, the development of targeted material, the collection of tools and resources, while at the same time it will create opportunities for linking VET schools with the labour market building on synergies and partnerships with established organizations using industry 4.0 and automation or 3D printing and robotics. The key competences to be promoted as part of the 3D2ACT project are:
– 3D design, modelling and printing skills (3D-P) which appear to be missing from VET curricula and are currently needed to enter the labour market and be included in VET job profiles.
– Targeted ‘wide and deep’ digital competences, as purported by the 2018 Digital Action Plan: coding, robotics and STEAM skills based on a cross-curricular approach away from subject boundaries.
– Entrepreneurial skills, but with a social impact as they are responding to social challenges/needs and have a benefit for the community, the environment or the culture.
