SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
HISTEK Project created a new CB Cluster in the field of Education with the aim of sharing the best practice of the Italian ITS model (5th EQF) in Albania and Montenegro. This model is able to implement effective synergies between educational institutions and enterprises, giving an internal boost to the process of developing young people skills on SMEs¿ specific needs. With this background, PPs launched the HISTEK Cluster, aimed at supporting the future implementation of a new join (IT-AL-ME) tertiary education course (co-designed by PPs during the HISTEK project), able to train high specialized technicians with advanced high technical preparation in line with SMEs needs. The Consortium chose to focus this first course on Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (KET 6). Their particularly transversal nature, compared to a wide range of application sectors, allowed the identification of an initial technical profile, functional to the satisfaction of the diversified needs of the three territories. After the design phase, now PPs recognize the need to boost the Cluster in order to promote the model with respect to an even broader scenario of stakeholders (secondary schools and related students, companies, universities, industrial associations, public bodies, Ministries, etc.).
