  • Equip them with the knowledge and skills required to develop sector specific training that meet the demands of the labour market
  • Educate them on implementing Food Sustainability into new/existing curricula

Brief Overview of Project Work Packages

The project will will achieve the project outputs through the development of three key Work Packages, which will provide the professional development of VET educators and will ultimately enable them to digitally transform food and health related programmes.
