The National Needs Analysis within the context of inGenious
ingenious-science.eu
What is a Needs Analysis?
Needs Analysis: assessment tool for identifying needs and gaps, between current and desired conditions.
Needs analysis within the context of inGenious:
To identify the existing challenges and gaps in the current school-
industry collaboration
Leading to identifying the next steps to further strengthen the school-industry collaboration through recommendations and common strategies to overcome the challenges and gaps in the school-industry collaboration and thus increase the number of young people interested in STEM education and careers
