Objective
Compared with other sectors, skills requirements and vocational training provision in the forestry industry have been traditionally set at a low level. However, with increasing competition in the international market and the growing economic, social and political importance of forestry both nationally and internationally, job profiles and skills requirements within the industry are rapidly changing.
This project aims plans to implement a strategy for upgrading vocational training systems in the industry to meet current economic demands and social needs. It will also seek to increase employment and prevent migration of local populations by meeting environmental needs for sustainable forest development in Southern Europe and for differentiated forest products and services.
The partners will : identify the new vocational training needs; develop a new strategy focusing on the definition of systems, processes, methods, priority action and support structures best suited to these needs; and plan the training of vocational training planners, programmers and managers in a European perspective. Training plans will also be designed and tested for forestry development technicians, producers' organisations, small forestry entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs in the forestry service sector. Training plan development will include accompanying course programmes, curricula, methods and tools.
Impact
The project will lead to enhanced vocational training in the forestry sector, foster an integrated European approach to training in the industry, and encourage the development of new job profiles.
