Erasmus Talent and Innovation Labs
The Erasmus Talent & Innovation Labs project is designed to bridge the gap between higher education and the labor market.
ETI Labs aims to create an integrated framework that connects academia with industry, focusing on developing skills that are in high demand in the contemporary job market.This involves the development of Talent & Innovation Labs, a recent-graduate traineeship track, and advocacy for improved University-Business Cooperation (UBC).
Objectives:
- to enhance student employability and skill development;
- to facilitate strategic alignment between education and market needs;
- to promote the integration of innovative educational practices within the higher education sector.
This will be achieved by developing a new methodology to foster symbiotic relationships between academia and industry. Moreover, the project will establish innovative labs in Entrepreneurship, Sustainable Economy, and Digital Transformation to directly enhance student competencies, supported by European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDCs).
ETI Labs will align recent graduate mobility with entry-level professional opportunities through comprehensive research and pilot traineeship programs.
