Project Summary

Blockchain is at the core of the EU strategy to advance digital transformation, benefitting society/businesses and stimulating sustainable growth. The European Blockchain Sector is well placed to acquire global leadership; still its competitiveness largely relies on the availability of competent/versatile workforce. Whereas the demand for blockchain skills is steadily increasing, employers are facing a shortfall of skilled professionals. The sector is challenged by talents shortage, global competitive pressures, limited connection between education & the market. The aim of CHAISE is to set forward an open, inclusive blockchain skills governance system, to address skills mismatches and deliver training, intelligence gathering & mobility solutions tailored to sectoral needs.LONG-TERM RESULTSCHAISE brings together leading multinational companies (e.g. FUJITSU, IOTA, INTRASOFT), key institutional players (e.g. INATBA), EU umbrella organisations (e.g. DIGITALEUROPE, DIGITAL SME), social partners (BERCHAIN), thematically focused E&T providers (e.g. UCBL, UT, UL, DHBW) and public authorities in education (e.g. YPEPTH, CPI, CIMEA) to deliver:- A European Blockchain Skills Strategy & Action Plan to address mismatches- A skills forecasting mechanism- EU-wide occupational requirements & the first-ever blockchain specific occupational profile- A 5 semester VET (qualification) programme (5-6 EQF level) in 11 EU languages – Transnational mobility schemes for Blockchain students & professionals- National Blockchain Skills Partnerships to roll out SSA results at Member States’ level DIRECT IMPACTCHAISE will benefit: – 40-50 EU/national sectoral representatives & social partners – 40-60 regulatory entities (e.g. Ministries of Education, National Qualifications Agencies, Standard Setting Organisations)- 1400-1600 businesses offering blockchain services, incl. 400-600 start-ups- 80-120 HE & 250-300 VET providers offering blockchain courses – 700-1200 learners, workers
