About us
SMARCO strives to become a unique one-stop-shop for smart community skills focusing on the three main aims:
- To ensure the development of resilient and sustainable smart communities by addressing the skills gaps of smart city engineers and planners/procurers through the development of urgent upskilling courses and forward-looking training programmes;
- To grant flexible and user-centric learning, trans-national dimension and learning mobility, as well as a wide recognition of trainings through the development of micro-credentials, training certificates and wider certification scheme;
- To create a sustainable community of stakeholders to discuss, share and scale training, upskilling and reskilling linked to smart communities’ skills and relevant best practices via participation in the Pact for Skills (and its Digital Large-scale ecosystem) and the organization of roundtables with decision-makers.
Final beneficiaries: ICT professionals (such as smart cities engineers) and Public Administrations’ Staff (smart city planners, procurers).
Target Groups: Companies (especially SMEs), Educational Institutions (VET and HEIs), Business support organisations and EDIHs/ Smart Cities and Communities associations, Decision Makers.
