EARS Pilots

Pilot implementations of activities and tools developed by the consortium were carried out by several partners from Italy, Romania and Greece. In the project multilingual materials used in the pilot phase were created in collaboration by the project partners, focusing on the 3 pillars: 1. Learn the Future; 2. Local and EU Labour-Market; 3. Family Involvement.

The design and execution of the EARS pilot was specifically tailored to meet the needs of education providers, the industry, and the community, in terms of building knowledge, competencies, and skills.
