ARIS forms a Strategic Partnership to strengthen the key digital competences in VET provision for ICT professionals by offering an up-to-date curriculum and Open Educational Resources (OERs) in AI to address the existing occupational skills needs and mismatches. The ARIS objectives are to: 1) Design a comprehensive and up-to-date training course in AI technologies and practical applications, to empower ICT professionals with initiative, entrepreneurship & updated digital skills required in the workplace; 2) Introduce modern training delivery mehods and innovative open-access pedagogical resources, enabling learners to acquire and self-assess ΑΙ related skills, including VET providers resources & methods to integrate in their training offerings; 3) Facilitate the integration of AI skills requirements into the EU certification and standardisation schemes.
 

The fastpaced development of AI technologies in diverse economic and social realities is exponentially augmenting the demand for ICT professionals with the right combination of AI and transversal skills.Employers struggle to find suitable candidates from the existing workforce. Further to demand, the gap is amplified by the shortage and inadequacy of relevant skills expected via Vocational Educational Training (VET) provision, given also that AI is currently a subject of ICT specialization mostly offered at the highest level of tertiary education. The upgrading of initial and continuous VET provision in the field is therefore essential so that existing and future ICT professionals can acquire and develop the AI skills and competences required to respond to modern workplace requirements and succeed in a competitive labor market.
