The EntreComp4Transition project aims to develop new, innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning, paving the way for the future “Green Transition Facilitator” by fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, facilitating co-creation, and ensuring recognition of learning outcomes. The project, co-funded by the European Union, is an alliance between SMEs (represented by the Chambers of Commerce), Higher Education/Vocational Education and Training (HE/VET) Institutions in 5 different country clusters: Austria, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Türkiye.

Activities include an in-depth analysis of skills gaps, the development of a dual blended methodology with innovative learning content delivered via a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in line with European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) and European Quality Assurance Reference Framework for Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET) frameworks, pilot sessions, a mobility scheme, and the creation of open badges to support Higher Education/Vocational Education and Training (HE/VET) and enable businesses to verify acquired competences.
