Next GEn kick-off meeting

Within the framework of the Next GEn project, the kick-off meeting took place on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in the Oberwart settlement in Burgenland. After the online discussions, the project partners (Vas County Government Office, Sekem Energy GmbH, Wood Science Foundation) visited the first face-to-face meeting at the invitation of the leading project partner, BFI Burgenland Vocational Training Institute.

The Next GEn project, lasting 30 months, is intended to alleviate the serious shortage of skilled labor in the renewable energy market with the help of a multi-layer career guidance model. The project is co-financed by the European Union and the Hungarian State within the Austria-Hungary Interreg cooperation program.

At the kick-off meeting, the partners got to know each other personally, discussed the main goals of the Next GEn project, jointly developed the foundations of effective cooperation, and the operational plan for the first half-year period of the project was also discussed and accepted.
