About

The Smart Entrepreneurial Education and training in Digital farming – SEED project develops skills in agriculture by introducing a digital transformation in the profession.

The impact envisaged has been to design a joint VET qualification and foster transparency, comparability and recognition of qualifications. The project also has set up a new sustainable cooperation among partners, in order to create long-term developments.

The main target groups for SEED have been VET organisations (vocational education and training), their students and SMEs (small, medium enterprises) involved in agriculture. The project supported them by facilitating the development of skills and competences to meet labour market needs and also to be more flexible in anticipating future skills’ gaps.

Target Group

The labour market is an evolving environment, where workforces
are asked to be flexible and mobile. The challenges faced at
societal level, such as social exclusion, unemployment and
climate change. gave birth to new responses tackling these
phenomena.

The project focuses on four target groups: learners, SMEs (small,
medium enterprises}, VET (vocational education) authorities and
associated partners.

Learners will be involved through the VET centres involved in SEED
and will participate in the theoretical course, as well as in the
practical experience.

SMEs will be involved in the project through VET providers in the
consortium of partners.

Among associated partners, VET authorities and other relevant
institutions involved in the agricultural sector, education, etc.
will be reached through partner networks. Their engagement
will ensure the sustainability of the project.
