The concrete objectives of the project: O1 To increase the flexibility in VET by define a micro credential awarding procedure and detailed certification with Europass-skills passport for Solar Car& Renewable energy learners. O2 To decrease the rate of school dropouts in participating high schools by offering to students at risk of dropout more attractive/alternative learning activities O3 To extend the network of training providers, companies and volunteers that fight against climate change by the use of renewable energies. By achieving these goals, we expected students to improve both their technical knowledge and their transversal skills—teamwork, creativity, problem-solving and communication in foreign languages—while at the same time raising their awareness of environmental sustainability. The project was also designed to strengthen the capacity of VET institutions to respond to labor market demands, provide more attractive learning environments, and contribute to building a qualified, environmentally responsible workforce for the green economy. At the same time, it is aimed to reduce school dropout with functional, attractive practices that will increase students' employment prospects in the future.

We applied for this project to respond to the dual challenge of reducing school dropouts among disadvantaged students and preparing a qualified workforce for the green economy. Many of our learners face limited opportunities, low motivation, and a lack of access to innovative training. At the same time, the labor market urgently needs skilled professionals in renewable energy and electric mobility. By introducing attractive, practice-oriented activities on solar energy and solar-powered model cars, we provided students with technical knowledge in mechanics, electronics and renewable systems while also strengthening teamwork, creativity, problem-solving and communication skills. This hands-on approach increased the attractiveness of vocational education, promoted environmental awareness, and allowed learners to gain micro-credentials in “Electric Cars and Renewable Energies especially solar.” Moreover participating VET schools developed training modules with duration of 30 hours suitable to be included in their regular curriculum as Curriculum in Local Development for similar further training of their students green skills. In this way, the project addressed both social inclusion and the demand for future-oriented green skills.
