Workshop: Smart Skills for Smart Communities
Smart city ambitions are accelerating — but are our organisations equipped with the right skills to deliver? Without the right competencies in procurement, planning and engineering, innovation stalls.
SMARCO is about to launch a European Skills Blueprint designed to close critical capacity gaps in smart community development.
In this workshop, participants will engage directly with the proposed priorities, training pathways and partnership models. Your insights will form the further development of the Blueprint and its implementation across Europe.
How the session works
Short introduction to the Blueprint and its strategic priorities
Interactive group work and facilitated discussion of the challenges and the proposed training pathways
Structured feedback session feeding directly into the final strategy
Why participate
Get early access to a European-level skills strategy
Ensure it reflects real-world needs
Strengthen your own thinking around organisational readiness
Position your organisation within a growing European Skills Partnership
