MOSAIC: A Lesson from the Canadian Model of Vocational Excellence
In October, Paolo Montemurro and Becky Riches from Materahub took part in a study visit to Quebec for the Erasmus+ MOSAIC project. This visit explored the Canadian approach to Vocational Excellence Centres (CoVEs), where education, industry, and research collaborate to develop market-ready skills and foster innovation. With a strong focus on sustainability and the circular economy, the model also emphasises the importance of public-private partnerships in driving regional innovation.
