Objective
To maintain competitiveness in the global market, the European aquaculture industry must be able to draw on skills and expertise which enable it to respond to the challenge of technological change. A TT, the European training and technology transfer network which has served the industry in recent years, is a driving force in industry-university cooperation and has been responsible for producing vocational training materials for the industry.
This project aims to update existing materials developed under previous Community initiatives. These include short training modules designed to promote qualifications and develop managerial and technology based skills in specific areas. The modules will be produced in print format, in English and the language of the original developers - Norwegian and Greek.
A booklet entitled «A Company Audit for Fish Farms» will be published. The methodology used provides a tool for forecasting future training skills and qualifications requirements for the industry. The booklet will be available in English, French, Spanish, Italian and Greek, in print format with anticipated delivery via the internet.
The project also proposes to strengthen and expand the Aqua TT network. This will be achieved through information seminars, increased involvement with the Federation of European Aquaculture Producers, disseminating materials via the internet and extending the network into associated countries.
Impact
The project will support a collaborative approach to vocational training and, by fostering a united European approach, it will contribute to the global competitiveness of the European aquaculture industry.
