The Be21 Skilled Project!

The rapid change of technology, growing globalisation and internationalisation in addition to the shift from industrial to knowledge-based economies has created the need for 21st century skills. Well-rounded 21CS are vital in battling uncertain future and aiding Europe in being more resilient and responding better to looming threats. Possesion of these skills is thus seen as a key to economic and post-COVID recovery.

STEM graduates are often reported to lack 21st century skills by employers, which in turn prevents them from innovating, developing, and adapting in uncertain, volatile times.

The Be21 skilled project argues that the introduction of 21CS and their integration into existing curricula has a potential impact to, firstly create more competent, job-ready STEM graduates and secondly foster a support system and by extension increase retention rates of at-risk female STEM students.

Therefore, there is a clear need in fostering 21CS both by upskilling STEM HEI teachers and students.

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

ABOUT

Addressing digital transformation through the development of digital readiness, resilience, and capacity.

The aim is to use innovative teaching methods to instill these skills, and aid in disrupting the traditional teaching routines, which are often in the opposition to the ethos of 21st century skills. Stimulating innovative learning and teaching practices to accomplish its primary goal of developing 21st century skills in STEM students to be able to respond better to the labour market demands, BE-21-SKILLED project puts HEI teachers in limelight.
