The consortium of the BusyBees project is pleased to announce the completion of the Erasmus+ initiative “BusyBees – Building Skills for a Sustainable and Digital Future” (Project No. 2023-1-IT02-KA220-HED-000157574).
The project commenced on 1 November 2023 and concluded on 31 October 2025.
The partnership comprised five higher education and training institutions representing a broad European collaboration:
- Fondazione Istituto Tecnico Superiore per le nuove tecnologie per il made in Italy – Jobsacademy (Italy, project coordinator)
- Institut Escola del Treball (Spain)
- Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands)
- ITStudy (Hungary)
- Solution Based Training & Consultancy (SBTC) (Turkey)
The BusyBees project aimed to enhance higher education students’ and young professionals’ employability by fostering digital and green competences, entrepreneurial skills, and social responsibility awareness.
Over its two-year duration, the project developed a comprehensive set of intellectual outputs designed to promote sustainability-oriented innovation across academic and business contexts.
The main results include:
- 📒 BusyBees Handbook on Digital Solutions to promote CSR and Green Marketing – This Handbook is a concise decalogue, complemented by an annex of best practices illustrating how digital tools can foster CSR initiatives and enhance green marketing strategies.
- 🛠 BusyBees Methodology and Toolbox – The Toolbox targets higher education teachers, trainers, and coaches in the fields of marketing and business. It provides pedagogical guidelines, methodological approaches, and ready-to-use resources to integrate Twin Transition competences into teaching practice.
- 🎓 Set of Twin (Green and Digital) Skills for Marketing and Trade students – This output identifies and defines the core competences required by marketing and trade students to respond to emerging labour market needs.
