WP2 is the hub for the operationalization of the Pact for Skills, defining all preliminary and operational aspects of the Secretariat, the Educational Board, and the European Chips Skills Alliance. At the same time, WP2 is the perfect opportunity to expand the Pact for Skills through the definition of a long-term strategy for partnership building and sustainability, coupled with the adoption of a comprehensive Action Plan.

Welcome to WP3, the engine driving the implementation of the Pact for Skills! Here, the consortium will validate in real operational settings the decentralized pan-European ECS-Academy, unleashing a set of exciting activities to engage with students. As one concrete example, WP3 will present an innovative Summer School as a deep dive into the intricate microelectronics galaxy. But that’s not all – ECSA is putting the spotlight on learners by recruiting passionate Student Ambassadors. They’ll not only bring the Academy’s activities to the students’ community but also support the consortium in understanding and connecting with students’ needs and expectations. And yet, these are just a few of the exciting initiatives that will find space within WP3!

WP4 is devoted to fully bringing the Academy into the digital era. This Work Package is on a mission to craft a dynamic and user-friendly digital structure to provide access to all initiatives created and presented by the Academy. This expansive platform will push the boundaries of conventional websites to establish a robust and impactful digital presence for the project. This will be accomplished through dedicated digital sections for each project’s outputs, encompassing an e-Learning space, Job Fair & Career Expo, Internship Listings, and much more!
Lead partner: VSB-TUO in conjunction with Knolyx.
WP5 is the dynamic duo with WP3, as they both shape the heart of the ESC-Academy training courses. Initially, WP5 designs specific “reactive response” training content, incorporating elements such as “Agile management” and “Digital Competences and Skills” (including “Remote Workforce Development”). This strategic response is designed to address the challenges posed by the pandemic and facilitate the digital transition. Then, partners join forces to develop training and curricula across three pivotal areas – Digital, Entrepreneurship, and Green skills – as part of the “proactive response” aimed to create training content tailored to emerging occupational profiles.

WP6 is the vigilant eye of the ECS-Academy. Its goal is to carefully monitor all activities and results of the project, checking their quality and their alignment with the main goals of the project. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) efforts within WP6 result in (internal and external) Quality Assurance (QA) to ensure the relevance and timeliness of the ECS-Academy activities and results. Together, M&E and QA enable the consortium to measure the overall impact generated by ECSA.
Lead partner: CIMEA
WP7 takes the lead in Dissemination and Exploitation activities. It is meant to ensure a continuous burst of promotion, sharing, and utilization of the project’s activities, outputs and Deliverables. The final goal? Maximize ECSA’s impact! Indeed, WP7 is all about ensuring its sustainability over time, transcending the project’s conclusion. WP7 is meant to make the Academy’s results not just accessible but an ongoing source of inspiration for everyone.
