European Canvas Connect
This project supports VET students in visual arts and design by helping them build sustainable careers in a rapidly evolving job market. Traditional roles in the cultural sector are limited, and many creative graduates face unemployment or underemployment. The initiative explores new employment models and career paths across sectors such as business, healthcare, education, and technology.
Through student-led research, international case studies, and industry collaboration, participants gain practical insights into how creative professionals succeed in diverse fields. The project promotes interdisciplinary teamwork, entrepreneurship, and the use of digital tools and emerging technologies. Activities such as workshops and networking events help students build professional networks and increase employability. The project engourages students to apply their creative skills in fields like business, education, and social innovation.
Key target groups include VET students, educators, and creative industry employers. The project addresses their shared need for stronger cooperation between education and industry to ensure training aligns with labor market demands.
