The SMACITE project had a new face-to face meeting in Sofia.

On March 15th and 16th we have held a new face-to-face project meeting in Sofia (Bulgaria). In this meeting we gathered all the partners of the project to follow up the main activities and commitments of the project.

More specifically the main topics addressed were related to the designing of the learners’ training and assessment methodology and educational scenarios and the learning resources for the upskilling and reskilling of Smart Cities technicians and engineers. The creation of the MOOC and virtual worlds was also discussed among the project partners to develop the platform and all the relevant materials.

Another relevant topic addressed in the meeting was the designing of the methodology for the certification of the competences of the two profiles targeted: the smart city technicians and engineers

The SMACITE project continues to move forward to boost the technical and non-technical skills and competences of Smart City technicians and engineers.

We want to address the skills gap of Smart Cities technicians and engineers, by designing and testing a vocational education and training program that is based on a novel and multi-disciplinary curriculum combining digital skills on Smart Cities enabling technologies, with soft, entrepreneurship and green skills.
