The European Excellence in Dairy Learning project is not just a project but a vision for a stronger collaboration between learning stakeholders in a sector with a deeply rooted tradition of vocational training and work-based learning. Also, it is a sector that, while previously eco- shamed as a big CO2-polluter, is now at the forefront of green technology and sustainable solutions for such an important food sector as Dairy. Now more than ever, food sustainability and food security are key to worldwide success.

The Dairy industry ranges from traditional craftmanship to fully automated Dairy plants with vast production volumes and requires a diverse range of skills to ensure success. There is a need to protect the conventional Dairy craftsmanship skills and attract enough Dairy employees with the right digital and green skills for the industry to stay competitive in the international marketplace.
