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.
