  The aim of the 'Becoming a tourism expert through virtual training' -project is to build a virtual training package for the tourism industry, which can be used to train more prepared seasonal workers and strengthen their commitment to tourism work and Lapland. The aim is to support the employment of different target groups in the tourism sector and to support the continuation of competence development as apprenticeship training after the virtual training developed in the project. The aim of developing the new virtual training package is to offer seasonal workers and others interested in the field flexible opportunities to develop their skills regardless of time and place. The aim is to develop educational modules suitable for different target groups, educational content supporting blended learning and online learning materials for independent study. Show less The aim of the 'Sustainable Tourism Digital Badges' -project was to define a national user-oriented set of competences for sustainable tourism through frameworks and working partnerships. In the project we gathered research data and user-oriented experiences of sustainable tourism in different contexts. The purpose was to link the renewal of the tourism industry and the development of the skills of those working in tourism by increasing knowledge of sustainability and responsibility.In the project we created a digital, scalable, cross-educational competences framework to identify and recognise sustainability-related competences in the tourism sector. The competences were linked to national and EU-level frameworks, taking into account the competences needed in the tourism sector. Based on the criteria and competences, we designed a free online course at two different levels of education: Introduction to Sustainable Tourism and Advanced Sustainable Tourism. Show less
