Talent x TECH
\nRegion (TxTR) strengthens the skilled labour base in the German-Dutch border region by
\nsystematically bringing together international (and national) students, higher education institutes and companies. The focus is on techathons with a thematic focus on the TECH.LAND clusters (including Advanced Manufacturing & Robotics, Batteries, Health &
\nMedTech, Circular Economy, Hydrogen), in which mixed teams of
\nstudents (and trainees) work on real challenges faced by SMEs.<\/p>\n
A cross-border digital platform brings together all available opportunities, connects talent with employers based on skills profiles and demand indicators, and opens up learning and career pathways on both sides of the border. Open educational resources and online modules support preparation, reflection and skills development (e.g. in intercultural awareness, teamwork and labour market knowledge). There is a particular focus on international students. They bring a global perspective and think across borders. Early networking with companies creates a dual effect: companies gain access to urgently needed talent, and the region strengthens itself specifically through international skilled workers. The project makes a valuable contribution to tackling the structural shortage of skilled workers and low retention rates among international graduates. It raises awareness among international students of career opportunities in the Euregio, opens up SMEs to international talent and tests streamlined matching formats that lead to internships, final-year projects and employment. <\/p>\n
Universities,
\nchambers of commerce and business networks work closely
\ntogether to create a social innovation infrastructure. They are creating a
\nshared talent pool, strengthening the attractiveness of the Münsterland–Twente
\nregion as a technology and labour market area, and developing transferable
\nformats that can be used and continued by third parties even after the project
\nhas ended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","pr-category":[274],"pr-priority":[289],"pr-stat":[254],"class_list":["post-44255","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","pr-category-integration-education-and-labor-market","pr-priority-work-together-for-a-connected-border-area","pr-stat-new"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/44255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pr-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-category?post=44255"},{"taxonomy":"pr-priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-priority?post=44255"},{"taxonomy":"pr-stat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-stat?post=44255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
