Fortius

A projekt weboldala: http://www.leonardofortius.eu/

CONTEXT

The primary role of education and training systems, especially at university level, is to impart the skills and competencies that their graduates need for entry into the labour market. In order to do this, such systems must continually adapt to the changing demands of our society, and more particularly to the requirements of the business world.

OBJETIVE

The Fortius project aims to help improve the vocational training of University students and graduates from the Social Sciences. It does so by aiding them to develop core competencies required by today’s labour market. It contributes to setting up the most effective guidance and training mechanisms for achieving their adaptation to the workforce, and by acting as a complement to their prior university education.

WHAT ARE THE CORE COMPETENCIES?

Thanks to a transnational effort and studies done in four European countries, 10 core competencies have been determined. We will concentrate on these, and they will form the basis of the training activities to be developed under the aegis of the project.
The competencies are the following:

  • Verbal and written communication
  • Customer awareness
  • Influencing and Negotiating
  • Leadership
  • Ability to adapt to change
  • Networking
  • Creative thinking and problem solving
  • Self-development
  • Teamwork
  • Time management

ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES

  • University and Business Observatory
  • Training materials for vocational competencies
  • Pilot training tests
  • Web page and online classroom: www.leonardofortius.eu
