P4ELECS starts from a strong need in the innovation landscape of the energy sector to support the provision of competences and practical skills for projects relevant to the energy transition, reducing the time needed to go from research to implementation as well as creating flows of knowledge and experiences at international level, through an integrated system.

P4ELECS focuses on electrification, the corner stone of the energy transition, involving partners from 5 countries (BE, NL, IT, LT, DE) from Higher Education and VET sectors, Industry and innovation support organisations, Public Authorities responsible for education, accreditation and employment at regional and national levels, to work in a twofold direction and contribute to both VET excellence and INNOVATION support. Targeting VETs, HEIs, enterprises, Industry-related training providers, engineers and technicians, P4ELECS will focus on:

1. Creating a flexible training offer (with more than 200 modules, 24 courses and 500 participants) at the highest Quality and European standards via a user-centric platform as well as practical international experiences based on skills needs intelligence, that can be adapted to the specific educational paths of learners both for initial training and up-skilling and re-skilling of adults and including key competences in order to integrate the whole cycle of production from ideation to implementation responding to innovation needs in terms of competences, from EQF 5 to 7.
2. Developing long-term local skills ecosystems (involving over 100 stakeholders) through system mapping and change coordinated by the P4ELECS CoVE i) based on VET provision as a driving force for life-long learning and closely collaborating with the Higher Education and Research system ii) strictly linked to the local innovation ecosystems ii) with a strong international dimension, including with other CoVEs, both in the share of knowledge, development of content and training experience.
