Description
The ECoVEM action plan for collaboration for effective governance in the microelectronics sector defines the directions and activities for strengthening vocational education and training (VET) as an enabler of upskilling and reskilling, sustainable development, digitalisation, and resilience. This plan is based on the objectives of the European Commission from the Osnabrück Declaration 20201, on the goals of the European Act for Chips, and on the expertise of all partners at ECoVEM.
Microelectronics is the most rapidly developing science and is fundamental in all industry sectors working on the digital technologies of the future. The current VET governance in 6 different European countries has been evaluated together with the policy context on European level. As a result, we propose actions to promote the European Education and Training Area, to reach resilience and excellence in VET in microelectronics, to further establish a persistent lifelong learning culture, and to contribute to ecological sustainability via a green link in VET in microelectronics. To effectively equip the labour force in Europe with the necessary skills, the proposed actions from this plan by the ECoVEM consortium will be accompanied by continual discussions with policy makers.
