Following that, the team from UNIMED presented the outcomes and recommendations from the initial needs assessment phase.

Additionally, a proposal to establish a centralized national database for employment and skills monitoring was discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More detailed recommendations were provided for the project’s three main components: employability, digital transformation, and the green and blue economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
