LEAD Project Boosting SME Competitiveness through Education and Innovation
9. juunil korraldas Tallinna Tehnikaülikool LEAD projekti tutvustusürituse üliõpilastele ja VKEde omanikele (kokku 17 inimest). Üritus toimus Tallinna Tehnikaülikooli (TalTech) linnaku innovatsiooni- ja ettevõtluskeskuses Mektory ja seda juhtis prof Wolfgang Gerstlberger ja toetas projekti spetsialist Tarmo Tuisk.
Tutvustati lõppenud Erasmus+ projekti eesmärki, struktuuri ja tulemusi. Kohale olid kutsutud ka pilootprojektis osalenud üliõpilased ja VKEde esindajad, kes jagasid oma kogemusi e-õppe ja silmast-silma kursuse pilootprojektidest.
Üldiselt olid nii üliõpilased kui ka VKEde juhid jagatud teabe eest tänulikud ning jagasid oma seisukohti seoses projekti materjalide ja õppemoodulite võimaliku kasutamisega. Osalejad tegid ettepaneku analüüsida turgu ja praeguseid tingimusi, samuti olemasolevaid konkurente, potentsiaalseid kasutajaid ja koostööpartnereid ELi tasandil iga osaleva ja huvitatud liikmesriigi puhul. See tagab tulemuste maksimaalse kasutamise mitmes Euroopa riigis ja eri sektorites. Eesmärki on võimalik saavutada ainult eduka ja pideva teadmussiirde kaudu personalispetsialistidele ning VKEde ja mikroettevõtete juhtidele, st projekti peamistele sihtrühmadele.
Osalejad tõid välja, et väiksemad ettevõtted peavad investeerima personalistrateegiatesse, et vältida mahajäämist ja säilitada konkurentsivõime. Projekti tulemused pakuvad võimalust parandada uute töötajate valiku protseduuride koolitust ja harida personalijuhte, kuidas suhelda, koolitada ja toetada ettevõtete praegust personali, et tagada nende areng ja heaolu.
LEAD (LEarning And Development project for Micro and Small Enterprises) projekti eesmärk oli töötada välja terviklik koolitusmaterjal ja juhend, mis toetab mikro- ja väikeettevõtete omanike/juhtide õppimis- ja arengule suunatud juhtimisviisi, suunates neid juhtima oma ettevõtte koolitus- ja arendustegevust, sealhulgas pädevusvajaduste väljaselgitamist ja töökohal toimuva õppe aktiivset toetamist.
On the 9th of June Tallinn University of Technology carried out LEAD Project dissemination event for students and SME entrepreneurs (altogether 17 people). The event took place at Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre Mektory located in the campus of Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech). The event was led by Prof. Wolfgang Gerstlberger and supported by project specialist Mr. Tarmo Tuisk.
The aim, structure and results of the completed Erasmus+ project were presented. The students and SME representatives who had participated in the piloting were also asked to come to the event to share their experience of the e-learning and face-to-face course pilots.
Overall, both students and SME entrepreneurs were thankful for the shared information. They also came up with some ideas regarding the possible exploitation of the project materials and learning modules. The participants suggested that an analysis of the relevant market and current conditions, also regarding existing competitors, potential users, and collaborators at the EU level and for each participating and interested Member State should be carried out. This will guarantee maximal utilization of the results in multiple European countries and across different sectors. This aim can be reached only through successful and continuous knowledge transfer to HR specialists and CEOs of the SMEs and MSEs i.e. to the main targets of the project.
The participants also pointed out that smaller businesses need to invest on HR strategies to prevent falling behind and stay competitive. The project outcomes offer a possibility to improve training the selection procedures of new employees and educate HR managers about how to interact, train and support the current staff in the companies to ensure their growth and prosperity.
LEAD (LEarning And Development project for Micro and Small Enterprises). The aim of the project was to develop a comprehensive training material and guide that promotes a learning- and development-oriented leadership approach among micro and small company owners/managers by making them capable to manage the training and development activities in their companies, including among others the identification of competence needs and the active facilitation of workplace learning.
