JA Europe, Intel, Abodoo, and Other Organizations Join EIT’s Ambitious Goal to Train One Million Europeans in Deep Tech by 2025
(IN BRIEF) The European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) has announced new pledges from Abodoo, Computer Vision Center Barcelona, Generation, Intel Corporation, JA Europe, Tampere University of Applied Sciences, and the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca to join the Deep Tech Talent Initiative. The initiative aims to train one million Europeans in deep tech by 2025. The new pledgers will offer courses and contribute to the development of training programs to fast-track the careers of deep tech learners, with a focus on leveling the playing field for groups that are disadvantaged in the worlds of tech and business. JA Europe alone plans to train 390,000 learners by 2025.
(PRESS RELEASE) BUDAPEST, 28-Mar-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Junior Achievement Europe (JA Europe), Europe’s largest provider of education programmes for entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy, announces that it is joining the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) Deep Tech Talent Initiative together with Intel Corporation, Abodoo, Generation, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Computer Vision Center Barcelona, and Tampere University of Applied Sciences. These new partners will join the 3,400 EIT Community members to develop training programs that will help fast-track the careers of deep tech learners, with the ambition to train one million Europeans by 2025.
The Deep Tech Talent Initiative will offer courses to a wide range of learners, from those still in secondary school to those in higher education and those seeking further professional development. Its first pledgers represent a diverse range of organizations, including training providers, financial backers, enterprises, and non-profit and public sector partners. Together, they will work to equip learners with cutting-edge tech knowledge and the skills to bring that knowledge to the market.
Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth said: “As a flagship of our New European Innovation Agenda, the EIT’s Deep Tech Talent Initiative will help put Europe at the forefront of developing the technology needed for essential elements of the green and digital transitions. The progress made in only a few months proves that the EIT is the perfect vehicle for developing the best talent development programmes, in large part because of its ability to mobilise its unmatched network of partners across Europe and beyond.”
As part of the initiative, JA Europe, Europe’s largest provider of education programmes for entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy, will train 390,000 learners by 2025. Generation, a non-profit that seeks to break down barriers to people from underrepresented backgrounds, will provide their experience in increasing learners’ socioeconomic mobility. Intel Corporation will contribute tried-and-true training programmes, including its Digital Readiness Programs, which prepare learners for the onset of AI technology. Learning providers such as the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, the Initiative’s first pledger, will also bring their expertise in AI to the initiative, especially in biomedical engineering and energy.
The EIT and its partners will also work to level the playing field for groups that are disadvantaged in the worlds of tech and business, particularly women and girls. This first wave of pledgers alone will train hundreds of thousands of learners by 2025, making a critical step towards Europe’s goal of solving societal challenges and staying competitive in technologies with high innovation potential.
The Deep Tech Talent Initiative is implemented by EIT Manufacturing, and it forms part of EIT’s mission to promote innovation and entrepreneurship across Europe.
Nektarios Tavernarakis, Chair of the EIT Governing Board added: “The EIT Community has once again shown its incredible capacity to break down silos and forge new partnerships! That’s the strength of our unique model, which unites innovators who want to play a part in a more sustainable future. The EIT and our new partners both share a vision where deep tech like AI – which is changing the world as we speak – is developed and used first and foremost to help humanity with challenges like climate change, sustainable food production, and health crises. I look forward to working together with our new pledgers to develop the talent that will carry out this vision.”
Salvatore Nigro, CEO of JA Europe commented: “Partnering up with Europe’s largest innovation network is a no-brainer. We are happy to strengthen our partnership with the EIT Community through the Deep Tech Talent Initiative and share our expertise in teaching tech and entrepreneurship. Above all else, we want to ensure our learners a quick entry into the future of European industry. There’s lots of great talent in Europe and the key is to empower as many young people as possible with Deep Tech for their future success. We are glad to see that the European Commission has recognised it and is moving in this direction.”
