Development of Regional Employment and Airport Areas Manpower (DREAAM) was an Erasmus+ project that had started in October 2018. DREAAM was a 24-month project with a total budget of €111,175.
Our objective was to foster an exchange of good practices on vocational education and training (VET) in airport areas by focusing on regional branding, job attractivity, skills definition and mobility. DREAAM aimed to facilitate the recruitment process for regions and airport platforms and to create more training and employment opportunities for the surrounding local communities.

Matching workforce qualifications with the companies’ requirements: Is there really a shortage between the needs of employers and existing staff qualifications? What are the good practices to reduce this gap?
Anticipation of future work patterns: Will anticipating the future needs of companies allow for the development of relevant skills before they become a gap? What are the best practices in this respect?
