International Conference - Qualification, entrepreneurship and innovation in the Green Economy

Meeting the challenges in the fields of energy, climate and environmental protection requires comprehensive reorientation and forward-looking innovations. These tasks must be mastered against the background of the following problems: 

• blatant & growing shortage of skilled workers 

• large qualification deficits, especially in the Green Economy 

• loss of attractiveness & low qualification of school-based VET 

• low rates of further training & insufficient orientation of offers to SME needs 

• ageing of entrepreneurs & high, growing shortage of young people (demographic change) 

• failure of business transfers & low rates of business start-ups 

• low innovation rates & insufficient productivity 

• comparably low internationalization of SMEs & many vocational training providers 

The international conference will include a presentation of a draft version of the Easy Energy Practitioner training followed by a round of feedback and discussions.
