The European Board of Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS) has joined the I-RESTART project as a partner from the veterinary sector. The I-RESTART is an EU-funded ject that aims to reskill and upskill the workforce in the agri-food and veterinary sectors, retrain the employees leaving the heavy industry to hire them in the agri-food sector and engage some students who want to enter the agri-food labour market, improve their digital skills and facilitate the transition to the EU Green Deal initiative.
To reach these objectives, I-RESTART will facilitate the inter-sectoral and intergenerational skills transfers by adopting an innovative micro-credentials methodology that will provide inclusive, flexible, and engaging work-based patterns with mentors while opening the ecosystem to external workers.
The project will provide the tools to tackle future challenges by offering ten occupational profiles for 3200 hours of training and 3600 hours of work-based learning period. In total, 16 trainers and 120 trainees will benefit from the pilot training in 8 countries, and 40 students will complete the work-based learning scheme that includes advanced entrepreneurial skills and involves 32 mentors.
The consortium is composed of 27 partners from 11 countries. The partners were selected to cover all sectors, competencies, and coverage needed to reach the project’s objectives.
- Food industry and processing
- Animal production,
- Digital technologies for the food industry, e-commerce, export, online marketing, logistics,
- Veterinary activities
- Advanced Entrepreneurial skills.
