Drone technology is a fascinating way to introduce students to STEM related professions, equip them with relevant skills and thus cover the labour market’s necessities to meet the new job creation arising.
The DRONES@STEAM project proposal addresses three main priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme as shown below:
- Addressing digital transformation through development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity
- Inclusion and diversity in all fields of education, training, youth and sport
- Contributing to innovation in vocational education and training.
Based on the above, the DRONES@STEAM 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.
The key competences to be promoted as part of the project are:
- High digital skills 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 and the use of technologies leading to the 4.0 industry.
- Job-specific VET related skills for various fields and sectors which are not offered as work-based learning opportunities or include danger or hazards for the workers.
