The 4th industrial revolution is coming at a worldwide scale, opening up new horizons driven by new-generation digital technologies. This change of paradigm has a profound impact in our economy and society, transforming products, processes and business models in every industry.The Feet IN 4.0 project takes this pillar as its backbone for the development of skills among the future and current workers of the footwear industry. And why is the Feet IN 4.0 project focused on the footwear industry?- The footwear industry is characterized as one of the most handcrafted industries in Europe. In 2016, the European Footwear Sector was represented by 20.300 companies and 286.651 direct employees, with exports to third countries having increased by 40% in quantity and 90% in value from 2009 until 2016.- However, the workforce in the footwear industry is still characterized by people with low-qualifications and even none or severe lack of ICT competences and knowledge. Despite of all efforts, there still are a remarkable number of footwear workers who are infoexcluded. To bring this target group to the digital era is essential to the success of the footwear sector but also to achieve a positive impact in cultural and economical terms and also to assure their social inclusion.The Feet IN 4.0 project intends to incorporate the industry 4.0 in the footwear sector, having as specific targets employees, managers and other key people who have direct connection to the sector and are excluded from or have limited access to the centres of knowledge. The Feet IN 4.0 project was oriented to create new and innovative learning contents that can help trainees to overcome the future challenges arising from the uptake of industry 4.0 in the footwear industry. At the time of the project application and still to this day, Industry 4.0 it is not only a reality in the footwear industry but in all business activities. Nevertheless, the specific characteristics of this sector of activity (namely low skilled workers, info-excluded and high demanding handcrafted jobs), makes this industry the ideal group to test innovative solutions that supports workers in the process of improvement of their digital skills. That way, by creating a training tool kit that combines a more traditional teaching materials (theoretical and practical content) with virtual and augmented reality that replicates the future tasks that workers will need to be engaged, those same workers become more prepared to keep up with the technological innovation linked to their functions. As result, Feet IN 4.0’s results helps them retain their jobs with high productivity. As so, this project provides open access, innovative and free training materials that enables workers in in the new digital era.The main target groups of the project are:(1) Footwear Workforce;(2) VET teachers, trainers, coaches and other stakeholders directed connected and working in the footwear industry;(3) Potential training providers;(4) Employers and HR managers in Footwear companies;(5) Employment services and social parties;The activities of the project directly involved more than 250 participants. In terms of results with relevance for the public we highlight:-Study on Industry 4.0 applied to the footwear industry in Europe-Methodology for applying Industry 4.0 in future profiles for Footwear Industry -The FEET IN 4.0 Training Tool KitOne of the project main expectation was to support continuous training and lifelong learning namely in the digital area. In addiction to developing innovative theoretical and practical training resources, the partners of this project are still working to obtain credit validation (ECVET) of the skills acquired in the training given, as well as making evaluation of learning outcomes in order to ensure the quality of the training provided (EQAVET).

The industrial revolution is something unique, something that is not happening every year or every decade: 1st industrial revolution – 1784, 2nd industrial revolution – 1879, 3rd industrial revolution – 1969. Now, in this very moment, we live in a so special time when the 4th industrial revolution is in the process! The fact is, that people are in these days overloaded by information and it is not easy, or better it is not possible to read all newspapers, web info servers, etc., moreover, for media, in general, the 4th industrial revolution is not the main topic for the evening news. As a result of that, we live in a society which roughly now what the 4th industrial revolution is. Also somehow there is a lack of people with technical skills on the labor market – a combination of lack of interest for technical education and growing demand for technically educated people could be a devastating impact on the industry within the EU. Employees, employers, young adults as well as VET/UNI students do not have enough information as well, there is not enough communication, support and political influence to solve this situation. What is a smart industry and what does “Industry 4.0” mean exactly? Put simply, Industry 4.0 represents the coming fourth industrial revolution on the way to an Internet of Things, Data, and Services. Industry 4.0 will be implemented by means of machine perception, auto-configuration and auto-diagnostics, and computer links and machine parts. Using the methods and tools of industry 4.0 would lead to savings in time and money and increased flexibility companies. Industry 4.0 brings the hope of improving the quality of human life by increasing labor productivity and the disappearance of monotonous and physically demanding professions. With INTRO 4.0 we want to offer a standardized non-academic knowledge base with the learning material to spread out the information about the 4th industrial revolution within the EU. National contexts were taken into account as well as transnational contexts. The knowledge platform audience now can get the core of the INDUSTRY 4.0, understand its content and transform achieved information in their work, companies, future studies or/and everyday life. PROJECT AIMSThe project aims on spreading information and innovation, which delivers Industry 4.0. The specific content - knowledge base - comes from deep researches and analysis (legislature, web, educational systems) and surveys (adults, employers, employees). This unique knowledge base will be implemented in the online knowledge platform. Following the feedback from the manufacturing companies - all information will be adjusted for optimum readability and then transferred to the knowledge platform. The final platform will be a valuable tool for spreading information among the target group. Everyone would find there a lot of new information which will give them a better chance to find a job, motivate them for further studies, etc. The platform could be also an inspiration for employees of manufacturing companies who can find there useful information that can help them to implement innovative elements in their companies. The knowledgebase can be also used by - VET schools and Universities. TARGET GROUP The target group of INTRO 4.0 can be divided as follows: • Adults • Educators like (VET/UNI) teachers, trainers, coaches • Employers, employees • General public PROJECT PARTNERS P1 (CZ) EuroProfis: the coordinator and the initiator of the project idea.

The “CVTube – curriculum video” project aims at giving an answer to the urgent need to tackle youth unemployment. The goal is to develop an interactive online platform for young people to directly link them to potential employers. The CVTube platform enables young people to create videos for self-presentation that is linked to their digitalized CVs. Young people are more likely to convince potential employers with their personality rather than with written CVs, as they often cannot yet show a long impressive biography list. The platform counteract this disadvantage by opening up a way of addressing employers in a more direct and individual way that emphasizes the impact of charisma and personality. This raise young people’s chances of making an impression on the employer and therefore increase their prospects of being hired. The CVTube project is focused on the development of a new tool meant to facilitate the matching of job demand and offer for students. The consortium involved 7 organisations from different fields that fulfil these requirements and complement one another.P1 (CZ) EuroProfis: The coordinator was the initiator of the project idea.
