Eqvegan –  European Qualifications and Competences for the Vegan Food Industry

Description
The EQVEGAN project has been funded by the European Commission through the Sector Skills Alliance Programme (SSA) as part of the Key Action 2 projects. Sector Skills Alliances aim at tackling skills gaps, by identifying sector specific labour market needs and demand for new skills with regard to one or more occupational profiles, or by enhancing the responsiveness of initial and continuing VET systems, at any level, to sector–specific labour market needs.The food industry is changing due to several driving forces, based on the consumer changes toward plant-based diets, leading to an increased share of production by the vegan food industry, that to maintain competitiveness needs to master new processes and technologies.
