META-COIN

Project description

In an era defined by perpetual change, the ability to adapt and thrive within evolving landscapes is a critical determinant of success. The world is undergoing unprecedented transformation, driven by technological advancements, shifting socio-economic paradigms, and the ever-increasing complexity of global challenges. In this dynamic environment, a new frontier emerges, emphasising the importance of meta-skills, that underpin our capacity to learn, innovate, and connect.

Meta-skills encompass a set of advanced capabilities, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, creative ideation, emotional intelligence, and adaptability. These skills enable individuals to learn and apply new skills swiftly. Hence, in the landscape of future work, meta-skills are pivotal, providing the basis for a resilient and dynamic workforce capable of navigating and thriving amidst ongoing change. 

Even though we have already approached the European Year of Skills, there exists a widespread lack of understanding regarding the growing importance of meta-skills in the modern workplace and, more specifically, its implications. Many individuals, educational institutions, and even businesses remain largely unfamiliar with the concept of meta-skills as they appear to be unaware of how crucial these higher-order capabilities are in fostering adaptability and resilience in an ever-evolving professional landscape. This gap in knowledge can hinder both personal and organisational growth, as individuals and organisations may not prioritise them in their talent development strategies or hiring practices.

Objectives

• Develop an optional training path and online material of future meta-skills, international and multicultural skills.

• Find out the benefits of multiple working life environments during interviewing organisations and companies, skill needs and skills gap of the future working life (2025-2035).

• Identify challenges of encountering cultures, meeting customers and employees with multicultural backgrounds, considering diversity and equality in the workplace.

• Find out how these skills have been trained in work contexts worldwide.

• Collect and analyse earlier good practices.

• Promote opportunities for continuous learning and training, new ways of learning, develop and online training path by using innovative modern methods.

• Pilot and modify training in cooperation between education and labour market.

• Organise support, guidance and training for trainers.
