The General Impact
of the COVE-WENDT Project
Centre of Vocational Excellence in
Welding and
Non-Destructive Testing.
The demand for digital education and the transition to green industry are increasing. Training centres need to adapt to this trend. However, there is a lack of experienced e-learning lecturers,
and not all lecturers are prepared for this new approach.
The project's target group includes specialists in welding and allied processes, trainers and teachers from academia and R&D institutes, engineers, and other individuals interested in pursuing a career in welding or non-destructive testing.
The COVE-WENDT project - Centre of Vocational Excellence in Welding and Non-Destructive Testing PBF-LB Operators - will have the following impacts:
Design and implementing new tools and frameworks for the CoVEs network, such as guidelines and educational materials for digital and technical training for a greener welding industry;
Enhance skill and knowledge by organizing training events for teachers, trainers, and stakeholders, as well as international skill competitions, job fairs, and career guidance workshops and conferences;
Developing a collaborative IT platform that will be a part of the CoVEs network and will continue to be supported after the project funding ends;
Creating dynamic regional skills ecosystems in project partner countries, engaging regional actors in activities of innovation and co-creation to support the development of green and digital innovative solutions aligned with market requirements;
Integrating Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) and living labs networks into these skill ecosystems to support the long-term activities of the CoVEs network and ensure its relevance and sustainability even after the project ends. By building and maintaining this dynamic ecosystem, the COVE-WENDT project will have a multiplier effect, maximizing its global impact and ensuring that its benefits extend far beyond the initial scope of the project.
The demand for digital education and the transition to green industry are increasing. Training centres need to adapt to this trend.
