Malaga TechPark has actively participated in the 2021 edition of Greencities, which this year has been merged with another important event for technology and innovation: S-moving, at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Malaga (FYCMA).
Specifically, the Park has been present through the head of Malaga TechPark International Projects, Aline Daniel, who has presented the European eLead Project, within the event entitled “Entrepreneurship as a key factor in the advancement of smart cities and mobility smart and sustainable ”. The event took place within the Start-up Point area, in the Urban Intelligence Room, in a space with a round table format.
Aline Daniel indicated that the main objective of the eLead project is to define a new curriculum for the qualification of High Technology Leaders, using the European Credit Transfer System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
The head of International Relations at Malaga TechPark underlined that “the project creates educational material for professional training within the process for training managers, workers or high-tech or digital companies, among others.”
The 28-month project will provide educational materials for VET professionals working with SMEs in the high-tech sector and a training program (MOOC) for workers in the high-tech and digital sector (final beneficiaries).
Preparation for high-tech leadership trainers is considered a key measure in providing qualitative e-leadership training programmes.
During the first phase of the project, the partnership focused on the design of a competence map for the new high-tech leader qualification based on the ECVET and EQF instruments. The competence map has been created through a comparison of the key activities to be carried out by high-tech leaders in the partner countries and is based on a clear definition of the high-tech leader profile.
Concurrently with the completion of the first phase, Málaga TechPark has prepared the second phase, during which a practical manual will be developed for VET trainers, experts and professionals who deal with companies and managers in the high-tech sector (mainly SMEs). and startups).
