Our Mission

LEADER was an Erasmus+ project which aimed to support students in Vocational Education and Training (VET) to develop appropriate soft skills, allowing them to take control of their careers. Soft skills refer to the competencies needed to communicate, cooperate and work productively.

The LEADER team pinpointed 10 key soft skills crucial for the future workplace: communication, listening, leadership, adaptability, empathy, decision-making, time management, collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving. These skills, alongside technical expertise, mould potential leaders. From this, 50 training activities were crafted, adaptable to various educational contexts and freely accessible on this e-learning platform for trainers and trainees. In addition to this, the ‘LEADER Game‘ mobile app, available on the App Store and Google Play Store, was developed.

LEADER ScaleUp, built on the success of the LEADER project, is leveraging existing tools that hold potential for greater effectiveness. Inspired by the achievements of its predecessor, the team is advancing LEADER to new heights, committed to expanding and refining the platform, products, and tools.

LEADER ScaleUp will extend the training beyond soft skills, encompassing vital areas such as digital literacy, language proficiency, vocational training, and sustainability skills aligned with the SDGs. This innovative approach caters not only to VET students, but also to companies and entrepreneurs, offering comprehensive skill development opportunities for professionals at all stages of their careers.

Be part of shaping the future of education and workforce preparedness with LEADER ScaleUp!
