PROTOTYPE project: this is the new Erasmus+ cooperation partnership (2021-1-IT01-KA220-VET-000033032) that we started as coordinators from February 2022. It will last 26 months. The partnership is focused in the AUTOMOTIVE ecosystem. The partnership is aimed at support companies in the “activation” of skilled workers towards lifelong learning and toward the development of skills for pro-activity. The purpose is to enable them to maintain their ability to produce value for companies, especially through role TRANSITIONS.

The AUTOMOTIVE ecosystem is experiencing unprecedented technological acceleration. The energy crisis of recent times is also leading to a series of change choices in the sector that are putting pressure on workers. Although qualified, they will not be able to add value to companies if they wont develop an ability to change their skill sets. Two important project deliverables will be created and tested:

• a career guidance Suite addressed to workers; it is useful for disposing them towards lifelong learning perspective;
• a digital game-based learning tool through which the skilled workers will learn a range of PRO-ACTIVITY skills that will help them to make role transitions that pay.

The partnership will also test with the use of art and movie language in order to stimulate awareness in workers. The young Italian movie director, Marco Cassini, has been selected to create a series of videos with a high emotional impact.

The Kick Off meeting in Italy is scheduled on May 19th and 20th, 2022. It will be hosted by Competences for Future at the Blupalace Business Center.

We will back soon with further details.
