Project Summary

Work4CE will address the need for educational resources in order to prepare for the future workplace (work 4.0). Interdisciplinary curricula and modules will be developed and new forms of (virtual) university-enterprise collaboration will be deployed to improve the practical value of the curricula and the employability of the graduates. With the implementation of the successful co-production approach of lecturers, industry experts and member of professional associations new, job-related competences for the workplace of the future (Work 4.0) will be developed. This approach will overcome the gap between academia and industry in the partner countries and equip graduates with competences to cope with the transformation of working environments, to assess where they are and where they want to go (analysis, strategy), to transform to a sustainable working environment, to consider occupational safety and health and environmental protection. Work4CE will focus on the following aims according to the needs analysis:•Education towards the future workplace (Work 4.0) is delivered: the 9 modules will lead to better competences in dealing with the new forms of work.

The co-production approach delivers a new quality of job-related competences with fast integration of new top
