Competence and Soft Skills in Higher Education – Innovation in Evaluating the Learning Outcomes of University Students: The TECO Project

The TECO project (TEst on Competences) put the accent to respond to the needs of emerging sectors, innovative sectors, and promote student-centered teaching, accompanied by the analysis of the learning outcomes, to accompany the Italian higher education contest to a sustainable inclusive economic recovery. The project should also help to identify education gaps in terms of entrepreneurial skills & digital skills, technical and digital innovation capacities fostering links between HEIs and business in each University involved in the project. The TECO will address mismatches between the needs of emerging sectors and the offer of higher education institutions and propose integral solutions for education, designed to educate, inspire, and connect students, stakeholders, and community members in the Italian ecosystem.
