Train the Trainer programme is ready to welcome participants after successful pilot!

The EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative’s Train the Trainer programme has successfully completed its pilot course with the Pledgers of the Initiative, the aim of which was to assess how well the programme works, analyse participant demographics and progress, and gather feedback to further improve the programme.

“I want to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the course. It was very well structured and brought several insights that could be used in my classes, especially on the use of Artificial Intelligence.” (Participant feedback)

The two-month pilot consisted of hybrid sessions and an online peer-to-peer forum and was designed to enhance the capabilities of educators in the fields of deep tech and Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) to enrich their training methods and develop new content.

The participants valued the diversity of the materials, practical focus on real-world case studies, innovative teaching methods using generative AI, the focus on the collaboration between deep tech and entrepreneurship, and the flexibility & collaboration that the programme allowed them. They also appreciated networking with like-minded educators from both Deep Tech and Innovation & Entrepreneurship areas.

The course was positively rated by the participants with 4.64/5 stars, and 93% are looking forward to any follow-up.
