Project Summary

The aim of the project is to enable the realization of the aims of the Blueprint, namely the delivery of human capital solutions to supply chain SMEs through the establishment of an Automotive Sector Skills Alliance covering all levels of the value chain (vehicle production, automotive suppliers and automotive sales and aftermarket services). The deliverables produced unitl now are here: https://www.project-drives.eu/en/results. A SSA will be established to build upon the GEAR 2030 work, whilst proposing concrete and practical initiatives to address skills challenges, in particular through facilitating mobility of workers within automotive. Through this approach, a sustainable cooperation on skills development across the value chain and through concrete initiatives will be realized through a project with three distinct aims:1. Harness existing and proven Skills Frameworks in European countries (UK, GE), modernize them to cope with future automotive trends (using expert analysis companies), and look at the deployment into new countries (like e.g. PT, SK, RO, SP, CZ etc.).2. Enable mutual recognition of awards between formal and informal automotive education, VET and universities, and across Europe in order to enhance the use and success of government funded mobility programmes such as Erasmus+ KA1.3. Implementation of common European automotive skills umbrella and integration of existing skills frameworks (Sector skills council, ECQA, AQUA, SkillMan, Skills Passport, etc.) including pilot trainings.4. Project aims to build on the successful deployment of the Apprenticeship Marketplace by enhancing its effectiveness for automotive job seekers. An IT infrastructure will be implemented to detail common job requirements, which will be available for job seeking, training providers namely universities, VET providers and more, as well as forming a market place job offers on local, nation and European levels.Through the realization of the four aims, GEAR 2030’s strategy pilot implementation can be delivered and built upon through the Blueprint SSA.
