EU Level
Horizon Europe should continue to fund projects that build partnerships between educational institutions and industries, particularly in sectors requiring both technical and creative skills, such as digital innovation, design, and renewable energy. These partnerships should include mentorship programmes to foster meaningful interaction between professionals, scientists, and students, ensuring that students gain insights into real-world applications of their learning.These partnerships can help align educational outcomes with labour market needs, ensuring that students are equipped with the skills required for future jobs.
Local Level
Local education authorities should facilitate industry partnerships that provide students with opportunities to engage in project-based learning that reflects real-world challenges. Schools could collaborate with local businesses to develop projects focused on areas like sustainable development or digital transformation. To encourage industry participation, local authorities should articulate the benefits of collaboration and provide incentives where necessary. To prevent undue corporate influence, clear legislative frameworks should be put in place.
