SEED
SEED (Sustainable Energy EDucation) is a collaborative program funded by Erasmus+ that seeks to equip young people and adults with the skills and competencies necessary to face the energy challenges of the future. The program is based on the formation of CoVEs (Centres of Vocational Excellence) comprising networks of vocational education institutes, industry partners and other organisations. Through these CoVEs, SEED will work to develop excellent sustainable energy education, preparing learners, students and existing professionals with the necessary skills and competencies for the future.
SEED will provide the knowledge and resources to enable regional innovation, helping to move towards a fossil-free energy society and future-proofing the workforce. It will also empower regional innovation based on regional needs, by reinforcing the connections within the regions. Good practices on teaching and learning, partnerships with industry and educational governance will be selected, enriched and shared to ensure that learners, students and existing professionals are equipped with the skills and competencies required for the future.
In addition to providing high quality vocational skills, the goal of the program is to create an international learning community with shared standards, approaches, tools, experiences and lessons learned to achieve excellence in vocational education on sustainable energy.
