The Learner Centric Advanced Manufacturing Platform for Centre of Vocational Excellence (CovEs) meeting took place on 17-18 January in Toulouse (France), hosted by Mécanic Vallé in cooperation with Campus des métiers et des qualifications d’excellence at the Maison de la Formation Jacqueline Auriol, a regional Training / Research / Innovation and Technology Transfer center dedicated to aeronautics and aerospace.
LCAMP partners met for the second time since the EU-funded project kicked off in 2022. The LCAMP project aims to support and empower regional Advanced Manufacturing for the Centre of Vocational Excellence to become more resilient, innovative and better equipped to train, upskill, and reskill young and adult students to successfully face the digital and green transitions. Furthermore, LCAMP supports regions to grow and be more competitive through their VET systems.
In Toulouse, LCAMP partners were welcomed by the French Director of the Academic Region for Initial and Continuing Vocational Training and Apprenticeship, Mr Nicolas Madiot, who stated that regional authorities would like LCAMP to become the European reference for VET and training centers in its ambitions and network of organizations. He encouraged LCAMP partners to keep working together on the development of the first Learner Centric Advanced Manufacturing Platform for the Centre of Vocational Excellence, as, he said “alone we go faster, but together we go farther.”
The next meeting of the project will be organized by the Kocaeli Provincial Directorate of National Education (Kocaeli, Turkey) in June 2023.
