The Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (IPT), through its Laboratory for Pedagogical Innovation and Distance Education (LIED), is part of the international consortium behind the T-TalentTech project – “Multidisciplinary Skills for ICT Professionals”, recently approved for funding under the Erasmus+ KA220-VET call for cooperation partnerships in vocational education and training. With a budget of €400,000 and a duration of 30 months, this European project aims to tackle the skills gap in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector by developing a T-shaped skills learning model and a talent management framework for ICT professionals, trainers, and companies.
T-TalentTech seeks to boost workforce adaptability, align training with industry needs, and strengthen collaboration between education and business sectors.
The international consortium includes organizations from four European countries: Sunnmøre Kulturnæringshage AS (Coordinator) and Volda University College (Norway), Acorist and Coşkunöz Education Foundation (Turkey), ilmiolavoro and Centro Diffusione Imprenditoriale Toscana (Italy), and IPT together with NERSANT – the Business Association of the Santarém Region (Portugal). Both Portuguese partners will contribute to developing training content, skills analysis, and implementing innovative learning models, reinforcing their shared commitment to professional qualification and digital transformation. Beyond this new project, IPT and NERSANT maintain an active collaboration in various initiatives related to innovation, training, and regional development.
This is yet another European project where IPT stands out as a reference institution in promoting digital education and building strategic international partnerships.
