Project description
Essentially, in line with the programme's objectives, the Innovative SKILLS project prepared a larger project proposal to find the best transnational solutions to bridge the gap between current and future labour market needs and education and training institutions that prepare future employees in the inland water sector.
The project tried to solve the shortage of qualified personnel by aligning skills to current and future labour market requirements and promote entrepreneurial spirit for Danube navigation businesses among young people and adults.
Continuing the objectives set in the Danube SKILLS project and starting from the challenges identified by the EC Social Agenda in the field of transport, the project sought to provide solutions to ensure that inland navigation becomes a more attractive sector, especially for young people, to rejuvenate the staff, in large proportion with ages over 50 years.
CERONAV participated in all the activities of the project, respectively:
- Pachetul de lucru Administrativ;
- Technical package 1 which resulted in a report on the supply and demand situation of forward-looking innovative skills in the inland navigation sector. The package included the following activities:
- Study on the offer of qualification courses and professional training in the river transport sector in the countries of the Danube river basin;
- Study of the current and future requirements of a truly integrated transport system in line with technological progress. This study will also identify the requirements of current European policies, as well as the ability and willingness of different segments of the inland water industry to adopt the requirements of EU policies and initiatives;
- Analysis of the differences between the two sides, demand and supply, which will be based on the information collected in the previous activities.
- The technical package 2 whose result was the work plan of the future project and consisted of the following activities:
- Structure of the proposal for the future project;
- The work plan for the future project;
- The budget plan for the future project
- Technical package 3, the result of which was a report on future financial instruments, with the following activities:
- Analysis of funding sources;
- Establishing the steps to follow after the completion of the Seed Money project
