By implementing this project, we will develop trainings for VET institutions and their instructors to build up relevant AI knowledge and deliver comprehensive training for employees of SMEs to build up their skills in AI applications in their operations. Therefore, contributing to innovation in VET, increasing its attractiveness and ensuring its adaptation to the labour market needs. This will help VET institutions and SMEs in Europe to become more skilled and competitive.

We implement research on AI for SMEs, as a basis for developing further results. We will develop a holistic concept, 10 factsheets, 2 curricula plus learning and teaching materials and evaluate all activities. The piloting of the educational courses will include more than 60 participants from 6 European countries. Broad dissemination, individual implementation advice and a significant European multiplier event ensure visibility, sustainability and the transfer of the project and its results.

Our results are a profound analysis of needs, challenges and benefits of AI in SMEs, an implementation concept for SMEs on AI applications and 10 factsheets, an extensive train-the-trainer course including a curriculum, learning and teaching materials and an evaluation report, a comprehensive continuous education program on AI implementations tailored to the needs of SMEs including a curriculum, learning and teaching materials and an evaluation report and far-reaching dissemination and transfer.
