Innovation Vocational Excellence in Tech – INVESTech

Description

The INVESTech project aims to establish and develop a transnational cooperation platform for Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) in ICT across Slovakia, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Lithuania. By fostering collaboration between education, the labor market, and other stakeholders, INVESTech promotes innovation, skills development, green transition, and social inclusion in VET.
