ASSETs+

Eupportunity is an associated partner in the project ASSETs+ Alliance for Strategic Skills addressing Emerging Technologies in Defence.

ASSETs+ is an Erasmus+ funded project that aspires to build a sustainable human resources supply chain allowing defence sector companies to innovate by both attracting highly-skilled young workers and upskilling their employees thanks to customised, complementary education & training programmes addressing three main technologies: Robotics, C4ISTAR and Cybersecurity aspects related to the first two.
The project will focus on four main activities: 1. Skill Strategy to translate the selected technologies into actionable sets of relevant fine-grained skills to be (potentially) transformed into new job profiles; 2. Design of three training programmes to address high- school students, university students, employees; 3. E&T programme realisation and improvement; 4. Development of community of practice (i) and body of knowledge (ii) to promote new skills acquisition, development and retention.

ASSETs+ was launched in 01/01/2020 and will have the duration of 4 years. Its kick-off meeting was held in Brussels, in 23-24 January 2020.
