Results and
roadmap

The project

  • Contributes to addressing various economic and societal challenges, changes in attitudes and values, strategies and policies, organisational structures and processes, delivery systems and services, by promoting both product and process innovation, as well as by developing educational solutions for the topical challenging issues, such as the rise of the unemployment rate and the high rate of local enterprises “deaths”

  • Enhances the capacity building of local TCLF MSMEs, and support their sustainability and growth by introducing them green competences, knowledge and skills to put in place green practices and green business models

  • Provides helpful and explicit guidelines for policy makers, trade associations, and public bodies to enhance and support the green transition of the textile sector, the benefits and opportunities deriving from its scale-up and replicability

    The more education providers and stakeholders adopt the products, the greater the impact will be on the EU education system as a whole. Through the involvement of local and transnational stakeholders, SiT will guarantee that the recommendations and the GreenComp framework provided should influence improvement of the TCLF sector training provisions and ecosystems in partner countries and at EU level.

    The report analyses training needs for the green transition in the TCLF sector, based on data from SMEs, Higher Education, and VET schools. It highlights professional needs, challenges, and required green skills across partner countries. A standardised framework is proposed to guide curricula and training programs, focusing on the emerging professions Bio-Textile Technician and Recycling Manager. The study uses the ESCO model to define competencies and introduces the TCLF GreenComp reference framework.

The curricula focus on two emerging professional profiles, the Bio-textile Technician and the Recycling Manager, and provide learners with the technical, environmental and innovation-focused competencies needed to support a more sustainable and circular TCLF industry.
