The specific objective of the project is to reduce skills gap between schools and tourism industry through three results:

1. Improved digital competences of teachers and students;
2. Improved soft skills of students;
3. Improved professional competences of students and professionals.

The project will lead to a better quality of VET provision, to an increased employability of students and professionals, and to an improved quality of the tourism offer in the partners’ tourism ecosystems.

The project develops blended upskilling activities for teachers and trainers (courses, masterclasses, workshops, community of practice) and innovative learning activities for students (blended skills competitions and online contests). The partners are going to constantly map the tourism ecosystem needs, setting up CVET courses, micro-credentials and sectorial initiatives (Pact for Skills on tourism) to provide training activities aligned with economy and society.

The project produces the following results:

• 1 course catalogue for teachers;
• 6 masterclasses, 2 thematic workshops and 1 community of practice for teachers; - 2 blended skills competitions for I-VET students;
• 2 online contests for I-VET students;
• 2 guides about blended skills competitions and online contests;
• 1 toolkit to analyze tourism skills and trends;
• 9 C-VET courses based on skills intelligence and micro-credentials;
• 6 Pact for Skills on tourism initiatives.
