HTX - Green STEM voices for a sustainable future
(January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2027)
In 2024, just over 13% of all job postings in the Triangle Region requested green skills. The path to more employees with green skills is education and highlighting the opportunities that exist in the so-called STEM subjects; science, technology, engineering and math.
The project “HTX - Green STEM voices for a sustainable future” builds a bridge between primary schools and HTX through teaching courses and bridging activities that demonstrate the application of STEM subjects and career opportunities in interaction with the other subjects of the primary school. Sustainable collaboration formats are developed with a focus on practice-oriented and relevant experiences, which strengthen students' knowledge and motivation for the HTX education. The collaboration is ensured through leadership anchoring and close dialogue between schools and UU counselors.
The project is funded by the Region of Southern Denmark's Education Fund.
Who manages the project?
- Triangle Region Denmark. We are a collaborative organization across the seven municipalities in the Triangle Region, with experience in project management of projects focusing on transitions between education levels, e.g. between youth educations and higher educations or between primary school and youth educations.
