TESS project is a European initiative focused on creating a European VET data space to improve the collection, sharing and use of vocational education and training (VET) data across Europe.
Bringing together partners from Spain, France, Greece, Turkey, Estonia and Finland, the project addresses the current fragmentation of educational data and promote secure, interoperable and data-driven collaboration among VET stakeholders.
PROJECT RESULTS
- A validated European VET data space for secure and interoperable data sharing.
- Common governance, legal and technical frameworks for vocational education data exchange.
- Pilot actions demonstrating the effectiveness and scalability of the VET data space across Europe.
- Training programmes and capacity-building activities to strengthen digital skills in data spaces within the VET ecosystem.
