During the last few decades, due to the increased mobility of both professionals and students, there has been a rising need to ensure transparency and comparability regarding the qualifications obtained in countries of the European Union. As a result, there has been a focus on the alignment of these professional qualifications through various tools, which evidently led to their recognition in Europe-wide scale. These tools are in essence reference frameworks, such as the European Qualification Framework (EQF), which can then be divided into “sub-frameworks” which are more specific and refer to particular sectors, e.g. the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) enhances mobility and recognition of acquired knowledge and skills in VET settings.

The I4EU project has adopted the ECVET framework to design four professional qualifications related to the Industry 4.0 sector and the corresponding training courses. The qualifications addresses different fields of application and define professions in terms of missions, tasks, KPIs and competences. Such qualifications want to be useful tool to recognize, inside an European framework, the competences and skills acquired by the trainees thanks to the VET courses.

The I4EU project has designed four training programs: Junior Tech Professional, Junior Talent Manager, Junior Operation Manager and Junior Business Strategist. Through the following badges and links, you can get more info and access to the courses. All the training activities are online and free.
