At the same time, the lack of digital skills throughout Europe threatens to hamper and slow down innovation in this and other emerging technologies. To counteract this dynamic and \u201cclose the gap\u201d, our consortium has launched the new CHAISE project to deliver \u201cblockchain skills for Europe\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>From 18-20 November, the new four-year initiative was officially launched with its first project meeting. CHAISE is not just another European project, as it is mandated by the EC to design the missing European Blockchain Skills Strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blockchain skills development done right<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CHAISE is well-equipped for the paradigm shift ushered in by blockchain. Led by the Universit\u00e9 Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL), the project\u2019s consortium consists of European and global leaders in blockchain and DLTs, including academic and industry partners and sectoral organisations and communities.<\/p>\n<p>The project will develop a 5-semester VET (qualification) programme in 11 EU languages with an innovative approach: In addition to technical skills specific to blockchain\/DLTs, the CHAISE Curriculum will also include non-technical soft skills to respond to the specific needs of modern work environments (problem-solving, team work, and a customer-oriented and entrepreneurial mindset).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, all learning materials developed by the project will be consolidated into an open online course. Finally, CHAISE will also develop the first-ever \u201cblockchain specialist\u201d occupational profile in line with existing competences and qualification frameworks to guarantee a common language for digital skills descriptions.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for more information about the project!
