BLANKCON (Netherlands)
Brief description of the organization
BLANKCON has its roots in Dutch agricultural education and training. Its main activities are in project management and consultancy in different European projects.
BLANKCON was involved in a DoI project, called ECVET-STEP. In that project some tools have been developed, which also can be useful for ACROSS. We believe that the principles of ECVET could add an extra dimension to ACROSS.
BLANKCON is also member of the Dutch National Expert Group and also here is interesting information available. It leads to the conclusion that what we do in ACROSS could get an extra dimension when we put it in an ECVET context: to place green competences and skills in the hierarchy of job profiles.

ECVET, Project management, consultancy, agricultural education and training, quality assurance, marketing

Brief description of the organization
IFOA focuses its training on the ability to transfer skills and competencies which can be immediately applied in the job market. Our training in fact focuses primarily on know-how.
Know-how which comes from a constant, intense relationship with businesses. IFOA in fact takes great inspiration from businesses, those who work in the field, and its consultants and experts to define its training packages, identify its teaching staff and run its rich faculty.
This is why IFOA stands for useful training. Useful for those who are already in the job market; useful for young people, who are trained from the start to work with innovative technologies and processes.
IFOA offers courses and trainings in different fields with the aim to participate to the new market’s needs; that is why the new challenges of the labour market are relevant and the environmental aspect is considered one of it (e.g. courses for quality control, certifications of energy performance, industrial waste management, environmental labels,…).
Besides, IFOA has been working on European and International projects for many years, with a particular focus on education, training and employment of young and adult people.
