PERFORMANCE-CENTERED ADAPTIVE CURRICULUM FOR EMPLOYMENT NEEDS

摘要

In the present knowledge economy the ability to learn in a way that produces knowledge and practical insights is vital. The technology evolution has also radically changed today's educational and labor market. The Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Telecommunication Industries in Europe face growing shortages of highly skilled workers in multiple areas of engineering and information technology who have the knowledge to take full advantage of what continually evolving technology has to offer and thus to ensure that their companies will stay competitive on the market. For this reason, Plovdiv University (Bulgaria) and the Spanish University for Distance Education UNED, along with several enterprises are working in the PAC project, which has been funded with support from the European Commission.
