"<< Background >>The rapid technological evolution and the new digital transformation is generating a gap between demand and supply of the labour market, which will intensify progressively with the need for new emerging professional profiles in the so-called ""4th industrial revolution"". This reality has been contrasted by each member of the project partnership. Having said the afore-mentioned, this context and need contrasted in 3 EU countries (Austria, Spain and Italy - Central Europe and South-) context requires the promotion of mechanismes for permanent curricular updating through new models of agile and flexible learning and exploring other tailor-made training approaches that combine different levels of expert qualification of hybrid nature (professional training + university + business).The recent study (January 2019) of the Pwc Foundation and the INTERNATIONAL Foundation confirm other EU reports on the disadvantaged situation of young women facing new professional profiles in scientific or technological STEM areas in which the largest offer of new specialized employment will be made.There are also barriers to access to technical training for people with physical disabilities who advise promoting the design of flexible and accessible training tools.<< Objectives >>The MULTILEVEL HYBRID LEARNING proposal contemplates as a general objective to support people to acquire and develop basic skills and key competences in line with the Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council, to ""boost employment capacity in new specialties, skills and profiles professionals associated with the deep and rapid transformation of the labor market and with a vision of the future in fields that are strategic for intelligent economic and social development "".1º To test and validate a new learning mode, agile and flexible, focused to covering demands for professional qualification uncovered by the VET curriculum.2º To introduce a new approach for specialist qualification combining VET + university (18-36 ECTS) + enterprise for responding the ever-growing emerging new professional profiles.3º Based on the model afore-proposed, to produce and validate multilevel contents specialized and the corresponding University degree (18-36 ECTS) for subjects unforeseen by the current VET programmes produced and taught in collaboration with the business sector.4º To enhance the use of flexible tools and adapted and to facilitate the acquisition of women’s key skills in STEM areas or professional profiles.<< Implementation >>ACTIVITIES TO IMPLEMENT:-Knowledge building: design of guide and 3 expert courses.-Development of a demonstrative pilot action at international level.-Assessment, quality control and intellectual outputs validation in 4 languages.-Dissemination strategy, valorisation and transfer for sustainability purposes.METHODOLOGY:The new approach designs a methodology of diagnosis and process shared with business world to generate new models of alliance that combine VET with expert courses of multilevel university specialization by means of the agile updating of contents through own university degrees of expert level or specialization, with an 18 to 36 ECTS European modular framework, extendable to 60 ECTS if required by the degree of qualification and specialization.This new model of agile curricular design seeks to complement and update the vocational training for its adaptation to the new labour demands and promote a ""combined, and multidisciplinary learning based on open work and online training"" for its flexible development in VET training centers, companies and universities depending on market demand or employment needs and career development included.The didactic modality combines ""tailored"" training criteria (distance, face-to-face or blended) and it is flexible because of the place where the expert training is given or received (training center, university, home or company). It includes actions to support gender equity in STEM areas and the design of flexible and adapted tools for accessing to technical training for individuals with reduced mobility.<< Results >>EXPECTED RESULTS:50 trainers (methodology and guide)50 women trained in STEM areas (professional inter-qualification)150 students trained in expert courses (intellectual outputs)10 people with physical disability trained50 direct places of work generatedMethodology validation and 4 intellectual outputs (expert courses and guide) in 4 languagesDIRECT IMPACT AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL:400 VET centers100 European universities10.000 businesses (clusters, chambers of commerce and business organisations)2.500 teachers and counsellors.10.000 VET students3 Multiplier events50 Education and employment public authorities.SUSTAINABILITY:Platform for the adhesion of 50 entitiesPartnership’s internal commitment for the portofolio enlargementSustainability accredited by the non-formal partners50 Authorities"

"The process of globalization has encouraged Multinational companies to spread their branches and offices all over the world. Globalization has inevitably kindled keen competition in the operations of all business. This competition has generated a need among all the enterprises, and especially SMEs, to adjust their strategies for their survival.Technology and the transfer of discoveries and knowledge to SMEs is a recognized milestone in building and sustaining a robust and innovative European economy but the professional requirements and the skills needed to work across countries, institutions, regulations and sectors to facilitate this process are as diverse as the cultures they represent.OBJECTIVES The general objective of Transnational Technology Transfer Entrprise Agent project was to increase and upgrade skills and competences of European SMEs in the field of transnational technology transfer and accelerate public and private stakeholder organizations in increasing their responsiveness to SMEs skills needs. Specifically TTTEA aimed at 1) minding the gap between SMEs and transnational technology innovation processes; 2) establish a permanent, transparent, recognition oriented, evolving & multi-actor training mechanism which will allow to respond to the needs of SME's 3) increase institutional capacity and awareness of responsible actors of industrial, technological and training policies about the role of transnational technology transfer for SMEs and extend cooperation between SMEs, Research, Service Providers and VET& Training System actors.TARGET GROUPS The target groups of the project include: SMEs: Managers, Technical and administrative staff, consultants; Cluster Organizations: technical staff, consultants; R&D Centres (including Universities and their Technology Transfer Offices): researchers, technical staff; Technology Parks and Business Development Centres: technical staff, consultants; Economic Development Bodies (Regional Development Agencies, Governance levels designing policies): policy officers, management, technical staff; VET and Higher Education: trainers, researchers, technical staff, administrative staff, learners. ACTIVITIES In order to achieve the planned objectives, the project has been structured around 8 Work-packages and 4 Intellectual Outputs which has been implemented by the project partners combining training, technology, outreach to SMEs and policy anchoring capacities: WP1 - Project Management; WP2 - Quality Management; WP3 - Evaluation and Risk Management; WP4 - Dissemination and Exploitation; WP5 - Minding the GAP: SMEs & Transnational Technology Transfer, aimed at creating a knowledge base about current successful practices which combine technology transfer & training methods to support these processes and further strengthen them; WP6 - Mapping skills needs & Develop Competence Profile of the ""Ideal TTE Agent"" which focuses on mapping the competences of the TTTE Agent; WP7 focused on producing the curriculum and in the development and testing of the TTTEA Training Program; WP8 delivered 2 sets of final guidelines, one for policy levels and the second one for VET system & Innovation system actors and to set up of a Transnational Technology Transfer Training Cooperation Network"". RESULTS The main project result with a long terms perspective consists in creating a winning coperation mechanism between training & educational system and European SMEs, starting from the network of partners and stakeholders, contributing to adopt transnational technology transfer as a means to accelerate growth and development. Shot term project results may be summarized as follows: 1) SMEs increased awareness level about technology transfer processes at transnational level; 2) Training & Service Providers increased knowledge about how to simplify technology transfer processes; 3) available training (including competence profile, training course structure and content); 4) increased capacity of the educational / training / service side to respond to educational / training needs with a more close to market and understandable language; 5) effective participation of the governance level & VET System actors to the information and awareness raising initiatives; 6) increased knowledge about how developed training can be transformed & readapted according to technological trends and SMEs needs (and how formal VET training course can be anchored to more situational learning settings based on SMEs daily operations).The Transnational Technology Transfer Entrprise Agent is a person specifically trained to manage the processes of technology transfer and could be a key figure in European to make SMEs more competitive on the market.The ideal Transnational Technology Transfer Entrprise Agent needs to integrate the traditional competences of a technology manager with competences related to the management of transnational processes."

Innovation and new business development can be initiated by independent individuals or by existing enterprises. The first is referred to as (independent) entrepreneurship, the latter as corporate entrepreneurship. Many initiatives exist that are fostering entrepreneurship, while corporate entrepreneurship (and intrapreneurship) is still not the focus of most programme initiatives. Corporate entrepreneurship is defined as a process that goes on inside an existing firm and that may lead to new business ventures, the development of new products, services or processes and the renewal of strategies and competitive postures. As such, it can be seen as the sum of a company’s innovation, venturing and renewal efforts. Corporate entrepreneurship would not work, unless there are entrepreneurially-thinking employees – so called intrapreneurs. Although intrapreneurship (maybe because the entrepreneurship definition of the European Union is very broad) is not directly mentioned in the Europe 2020 strategy, its important features – innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship – are part of the strategy paper of the role of education and training in the implementation of Europe 2020. CIP (Competiveness and Innovation Programme 2007 – 2013) and COSME (Programme for the Competiveness of enterprises and SMEs 2014-2020) also deal with the issue of entrepreneurial thinking, innovation and creativity – also within existing companies. Hence, corporate entrepreneurship, is and will be an important growth factor for European economies as well as a main focus of the European policy to stay competitive in the world economy. Innovation (also determined by corporate entrepreneurship) is one of the driving forces of competitiveness and subsequently for company growth. Observing innovativeness in Europe, figures show that regarding product and process innovation medium-sized enterprises are performing significantly lower than large companies in almost every European country (Eurostat 2011). Still, European countries are ranked high in innovativeness reports (e.g. Global Innovativness Index, 2015), but other world regions (such as South East Asia and Latin America) are catching up. Others are already overtaking Europe. A holistic approach of the SCOPE project will assure that companies and their employees can benefit from the project and intrapreneurship can be established more efficiently. Newly developed and innovative competence matrices for managers and for employees/students and an easy-to-use ex-ante gap analysis tool for managers will offer added value to the European company and training provider landscape. Additionally the development of standardized employee incentive models for companies fostering intrapreneurship, which will be developed within the project, are missing in the European Education landscape. Objectives The overall project objectives are: • To foster innovativeness and company growth in European companies • To establish intrapreneurial structures in companies • To enhance the employability and intrapreneurial skills of employees Specific objectives are: • Identification of specific sub-competences constituting the general competences of intrapreneurship and identification of corporate needs in each of the sub-competences on employee and management levels • Development/Improvement of employee competences in companies in the area of intrapreneurship through a tailor made training programme • Identification and Analysis of European good practice models on intrapreneurship mechanisms, corporate frameworks and support systems as well as incentive schemes • Development/Improvement of manager’s competences in the field of intrapreneurship and intrapreneurship support through a tailor made training programme • Provision of a self-auditing tool for companies on corporate readiness for intrapreneurship and intrapreneurial friendliness • Setting up of a sustainability plan for future provision of intrapreneurship training after the project end and establishing a framework to embed the developed trainings in the ECVET system. TARGET GROUPS Direct beneficiaries of project results are: • Managers of companies • Employees of companies • VET students Target groups for dissemination: - Managers of companies - Employees of companies - VET students - training providers - business development agencies - employment agencies - chambers of commerce - chambers of labour - policy makers Intellectual Outputs: 1.
