ENGAGEMENT Project to Forge Cross-Border Educational Ties at EQF Level 5
Overview

Sharing best practices, needs, and opportunities to create a cross-border educational system at EQF Level 5 (equivalent to the Italian ITS) in Italy, Albania, and Montenegro—this is the goal of the ENGAGEMENT project, which builds upon the HISTEK and HISTEK plus projects (Interreg IPA CB Italy-Albania-Montenegro Program). 

These topics will be the focus of the 3rd CB Capacity Building Seminar, to be held on July 10 at 9:00 a.m. at the ITS Academy A. Cuccovillo Foundation in Bari, located on Divisione Aqui Street.

The seminar, open to businesses, educators, and stakeholders, will provide policy recommendations aimed at fostering stronger corporate and educational engagement within a joint cross-border educational system. The initiative particularly emphasizes the opportunity for companies in all three countries to play an active role in the educational process, helping to develop the specific skills needed for growth and consolidation in an internationalization perspective. Additionally, the project seeks to significantly increase qualified job placements for young people, offering greater employment opportunities aligned with their studies.

“Supporting the Engagement of SMEs IT-AL-ME in a CB Perspective – ENGAGEMENT” is co-funded by the European Union within the Interreg IPA South Adriatic Program 2021/2027. 

Participation is open and free of charge.
