Expected impact

At AgriNext, we want to make a positive impact on the multifunctional triangle of agriculture (representatives of Vocational Training providers, students and VT companies) at local, regional, national and European level. We want to promote the Professional Excellence Centers and allow them to be flexible in the face of current and future market supply and demand. The adaptability of the CoVEs to rapid changes (climate change, digitization, etc.), will be possible with the incorporation of key professional skills and competencies in their current framework and the establishment of a continuous exchange of information between the business and educational sectors. This effect will be achieved through training, workshops, project meetings, evaluation and pilot tests of the incubator, association agreements that support cooperation between companies and education. During the project, mechanisms will be established to continue CoVE operations even after the end of the project and to continue promoting its impacts (preparation of the digitalization of trainings within existing Erasmus+ mobility projects, establishment of the company- education and financial plans, which will allow the future operation of the incubators and the platform, etc.).
