The main project priority is to develop a highly specialised and professional course of top quality on life cycle assessment (LCA) in automotive which will be in a form of massive open online courses (MOOC). MOOCs represent innovative teaching and learning in their own character, being run online, aimed at unlimited participation worldwide and open access via the web. The project focuses on a MOOC with the certification framework and practical examples, covering the area of sustainable approach in automotive industry to enhance the quality life-long learning opportunities and contribute to the transformation to Digital Europe. The MOOC will reflect the specific needs of latest skills and specific requirements in green mobility in view of the EU green strategy and European Green Deal plan. At the end of the project, it will be mapped into EU-wide database of training and education courses offered towards Automotive Ecosystem. The project results will be shared publicly and to Automotive Skills Association partnership as Pact for Skills for Automotive-Mobility Sector.
 

• Applicant – NEWTON University
• Partners – University of Wroclaw
• Project identification code – 2021 – 1 – CZ01 – KA210 – ADU — 000035065
• Project duration — 1/12/2021 – 1/10/2022
• Budget – 60 000 EUR
• Financed by – Erasmus + Programme

The goal of the project is to create a methodology to support the development of natural
potentials of individuals and a blended pilot training for the development of natural
potentials. The aim of the training is to verify the proposed methodology and test the online
platform. Participants will also be trained to become mentors to lead individual trainings and
consult the platform outputs. A workshop will be held in order to acquaint the professional
public with the outputs of the project. The results of the project include: methodology to
support the development of an individual’s natural potential, multidimensional diagnostic
platform for objective self-assessment and support for the development of an individual’s
natural potential and 20 pilot training graduates who will be simultaneously certified as
future lecturers.

Objective

The proposed project aims to support the Key Skills/​Competences recognition to enable and support creating of new methods of the Key Skill/​Competence measurement. Key Skills/​Competences are essential knowledge, skills and attitudes that will help organisations and individuals to succeed in the digital transformation in the time of changing and growin requirements for vocational skills. In our case we will concentrate specifically on soft skills like Teamwork, Responsibility, Commercial Awareness, Decision Making, Communication, Leadership, Presentation, Trustworthiness & Ethics, Results Orientation, Problem Solving, Innovativeness & Creativity, Sustainability and/​or Organizational Skills. The exact selection of the narrower range of these skills will the outcome of the first part of the project based on research of mostly required competences in the selected part of the labor market (in our case it is namely the automotive industry). Based on the analysis of the collected information, a methodology and guidelines for the assessment of key skills/​competences will be developed and validated by pilot measurements in partner countries. The effort will then result in the production of digital, internationally recognisable micro-certificates.
