Skills4Retail - Accelerating the Triple Transition in European Retail through skills. Vision The Skills4Retail project will focus on fast-tracking the ‘Triple Transition’ of Green, Digital and Resilience in the Retail sector, helping retailers to embrace ecommerce and ensuring their new business models are sustainable from the start. The project's goal is to design a new Retail Skills Strategy and VET Training Programme that will address the urgent and emerging skills needs of retailers in the key areas of Digital, Green and Resilience. It will focus on training fresh new talent for the sector through training programmes in VET Schools and Higher Education Institutions, and the reskilling of the existing workforce via work based learning and short-term modular courses. Mission The current and future demand for specialized digital and green skills within the retail sector will not be met by existing education and training programmes. There will not be enough skilled workers to fill the jobs, and they will be competing with digital and other sectors for the best talent. Europe needs an innovative new Retail Skills Strategy that can fast-track the upskilling and reskilling of existing retail employees and managers, students, workers from other sectors, and the unemployed to address the skills gap. The Alliance will work together to design, develop, implement, and disseminate a new Retail Skills Strategy and VET Training Programme that will tackle the immediate and future skills shortages across the sector. Outcomes The Skills Strategy & VET Training Programme will focus on the practical application of Digital, Green and Resilience Skills within the retail sector. The programme will be market and industry demand-led at its core, continuously adapting and evolving to address current and future industry needs and supporting European Retailers to achieve long term growth, competitiveness and sustainability through digital and green transformation.

"<< Background >>""Pedagogical entrepreneurship is recognized by being innovative and explorative, whether it is about economic growth, values, scientific approach, or making a difference. Pedagogical entrepreneurship calls for a broader definition of the entrepreneurship area, since it frames priority of practical, problem-based, research-based, and lifelike activities for the students, cooperation with local businesses, organizations, and life outside school. A definition of entrepreneurship (or enterprise education) includes emphasis on establishing and running a business of some kind. "".(Oxford edu) In this project we focus on both inner and outher entrepreneurship, both in a wider meening, and when it comes to business. As our regions suffer from the same problems, young people leaving for national and international hubs, is it of the utmost importance for our regions to reverse this trend. We also want to trigger a shift away from entrepreneurship education as an ‘add-on’ to the curriculum, to entrepreneurship education as an integral part of the curriculum.<< Objectives >>Increased awareness of opportunities for participants in partner countriesIncreased self-esteem and confidence among the participantsIncreased employability among participantsIncreased rate of interest in founding start-ups by the participantsEstablish a sustainable view of entrepreneurship in a post-Covid world among all participantsDevelop a best practice regarding how to work with pedagogical entrepreneurship as a tool to achieve the above<< Implementation >>4 transnational meetings, 4 digital Innovation Camps,4 IRL LTT´s,Collaboration between the meetings mentioned above, preparation for LLT´s and Digital Innovation Camps, common lectures and workshop, both by the project partners and also by lokal partners such as local universities, organisations and companies.
