The TECH BRIDGE VET partnership recently held an online meeting to present and validate the Tech Bridge Academy model, marking an important milestone in the project’s development.

The Academy is envisioned as a collaborative ecosystem that strengthens cooperation between VET providers and SMEs through:

• a common “Bridge” environment that facilitates collaboration
• specialised services for networking, capacity building, and skills intelligence
• practical tools that support the continuous alignment of curricula with labour market demands

By creating stronger links between education and industry, the model aims to enhance the quality and attractiveness of VET while promoting sustainable cooperation and innovation.

During the meeting, partners also coordinated the next implementation steps, including:

• validation of the model by the Scientific Committees and Advisory Board
• development of the digital platform and educational resources
• organisation of engagement workshops involving schools, businesses, and key stakeholders

The project is now moving into its implementation phase, transforming the Tech Bridge Academy into a practical and impactful tool for innovation and collaboration in vocational education and training.
