SMEs, which do not have the same resources as larger industrial companies, are particularly affected. Therefore, the main objective of the ELEVATE project is to promote individual solutions for SMEs to overcome the shortage of skilled labour by developing innovative approaches and tools. With this offer their development, integration and inclusion on a direct company/organisation level is fostered as well as diversity is seen and perceived as a clear potential for tackling the shortage of skilled workforce.
