With this article, we start a series of presentations on the goals and implementation activities of the INVESTech project, which was generated to support transnational cooperation between new Centers of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) that are to be established in the field of ICT in five European countries.
Let's first focus on the activity package called "Creating COVEs in the IT sector and developing a platform for collaboration".This package is actually also a work program aiming to prepare the basis for the development of national centers of excellence in the ICT sector (CoVEs) and to develop a model and a virtual platform for cooperation between them.

Recently, on the occasion of the last version of the Orientation Guide for Development of Green Skills, elaborated under the Go Green Project, I had to think and write some "wise thoughts" about future literacy as an important solder for creating a green economy, or more specifically for developing the so-called "green skills". However, let's not react with emotional overload when writing about the "green topic", because our focus here is mainly on future literacy.
The European Center for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefob) defines green skills as knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes necessary to live, develop and support a sustainable and resource-efficient society.
Welcome to the INVESTech project, an ambitious initiative aimed at supporting the establishment and development of a transnational cooperation platform of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) in the field of ICT. Our project spans across five European countries: Slovakia, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Lithuania.
INVESTech seeks to harness the innovation potential of VET in the participating countries. By fostering collaboration between education, the labour market, and various stakeholders, we aim to promote skills development, innovative technology adoption, green transition, and social inclusion.
We present to you the Technological School of Electronic Systems at the Technical University - Sofia (TUES). TUES is a partner of the Cluster Sofia Knowledge City in the InvesTech project.
This reputable secondary school is integrated into the Technical University - Sofia and about 40% of its teaching staff are highly qualified university teachers. It is a specialized technological school of national importance, which creates future leaders in the field of information technologies not only for Bulgaria, but also for the global IT sector and prepares its students to adapt quickly and successfully to technological challenges.
This year (2024) the school celebrates its 35th anniversary.
