SUMMARY:The Next Tourism Generation: Building a skilled workforce
DESCRIPTION:Conference The Next Tourism Generation: Building a skills workforce\n18 November 2021\, 10.00 – 17.15 CET\n  \nScroll down to jump directly to the live streams links and join one or more sessions on the 18th November 2021 starting at 10:00 CET \nIntroduction\nThe nature of the tourism industry is complex\, but it also has the potential to influence positive change. Commitment from all organizations in the tourism field is an essential factor in working together to rebuild tourism. It is necessary to develop an agile and future-proof sector\, both in the short and long term. This means investing in human capital whilst preparing for digital developments and planning for more sustainable and impactful tourism solutions. But how do we as a travel sector really make a difference so that it will also change? How do we enable connections between education\, industry\, and governments\, and what digital\, green\, and social implications are needed for future employment? During this conference\, we aim to bridge this gap by providing more information and context on the necessary skills that the industry demands and discussing how to Upskill and Reskill and collaborate. We partner with some of the best experts\, organizations\, and educational institutions working in tourism skills development and share insights from the Next Tourism Generation Project. \nThe public event will be held on 18 November 2021\, 10.00 – 17.15 CET\, and will take place online. In 4 modules of 1hours and 15 minutes\, experts will talk about key topics: \n  \nMODULE 1 – 10.00-11.15 CET: Upskilling and reskilling in tourism and hospitality \nKeeping track of rapidly changing skills needs and bridging skills gaps to cope with a world in constant flux are major challenges for tourism businesses\, education providers\, and governmental bodies.   This involves not only the acquisition of new skills but also life-long education and continuous re-skilling and up-skilling. This session will look at methods of how to keep track of rapidly changing needs. \nLink to the live stream: https://youtu.be/u_wNKkLB8Lo   \n  \nMODULE 2 – 12.00-13.15: Addressing skills needs with innovative collaboration  \nAddressing skills needs requires that the gap between key stakeholders in education\, training\, government\, and industry be bridged. Collaboration is a useful approach to bridging this gap as it brings complementary knowledge and resources together from different fields of endeavor\, resulting in innovative solutions to complex problems. \nLink to the live stream: https://youtu.be/mb69_i1Cerk \n  \nMODULE 3 – 14.00-15.15: Integrating new skills into industry and education curricula \nThere is an urgency to support a dynamic level of agility within skills standards systems\, qualification regulatory bodies\, and training curricula to flexibly respond to changing employer skills needs. The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the need for such agility in responding to new workplace challenges. Although education and government processes exist to facilitate communication with employers to varying degrees\, what is lacking are activities to strengthen and improve employer voice in the governance and implementation of skills policies and skills auditing processes. There is a need to increase responsiveness by education and training providers to respond to employer skills gaps. To help achieve this\, employers should be able to access greater knowledge of the channels that lead to quality skills standards in education and training which can help employer engagement with training content. \nLink to the live stream: https://youtu.be/gliy6xUJ33U \n  \nMODULE 4 – 16.00-17.15: Envisioning a skills partnership in the tourism sector \nThe Pact for Skills in Tourism serves as a recovery strategy that implements an up/reskilling framework\, maximizing the potential of the tourism sector\, building resilience\, and meeting the challenges of the green and digital transition.  This in turn creates new job opportunities and paves the way to a skills partnership for the tourism ecosystem. It presents a roadmap towards skills transformation and contributes to post-COVID recovery through immediate\, short- and long-term action and strategy. It further broadens the outcomes of the Blueprint on Sectoral Cooperation to address skills needs in the tourism sector\, which provides key inputs to the future work of the skills partnership. This module’s theme shall set the base for overall higher qualification of the workforce in the sector\, reducing job insecurity and improving working conditions that assure higher levels of recruitment and retention of workers. \nLink to the live stream: https://youtu.be/p3zwDXRfnpw  \n  \nParticipation is free. \nSpeakers\nThe speakers below are confirmed.\nMore information on the speakers and the program will be uploaded soon. \n  \nNatalia Bayona – UNWTO \n \nNatalia Bayona leads the innovation\, education\, and investments strategy of UNWTO\, the UN specialized agency for the promotion of sustainable tourism.

SUMMARY:Digital Skills For PostCovid Tourism
DESCRIPTION:Digitization and global pandemic have radically changed the way we travel\n\n#CortinaDF2021 organizes a thematic roundtable on the state of the art of the #NTGAlliance Project and the needs of the tourism industry for new digital\, soft and sustainable “future-proof” skills. \nSpeakers: \n\n Carlo Fidanza – Member of the European Parliament\nCarlo Corazza – Head of the European Parliament Office in Italy\nRodi Kratsa – Tsagaropoulou – Regional Governor of the Ionian Islands\nEmmanuel Mounier – Secretary General eu travel tech\nCorné Dijkmans – Head of Corporate Research and Innovation\, Breda University of Applied Sciences\n\nModerator: Lobke Elbers\, specialist in digitization and technology in travel\, tourism and hospitality and communication manager of the NTG Project. \nInterested in this event? Read this teaser from Corné Dijkmans: \n“During the Cortina Digital Forum\, Corné will talk about the research on digital skills as conducted in the frame of the NTG project. Some findings are that higher levels of digital education in general are needed in tourism\, and that a better general understanding of digitization is needed\, such as in relation to AI\, VR/AR and data analytics. In general\, a shift is visible from “job & professions” to “learning & developing skills” (i.e.\, general skills are getting more important than tourism-specific skills). Furthermore\, since tourism is a human-centered industry\, “High Tech with a Human Touch” is needed. That is\, despite all technological developments the real added value lies in knowing on how to apply technology in a human-centered context\, i.e. to build and strengthen relationships\, to drive personalization\, and to improve digital conversations.” – Corné Dijkmans \nSign up to the event here.
