N2  - This  paper  will  present  the  concepts  of  the  EURYDICE  project  funded  by  the Erasmus + program. Within this project the focus on renewable energies with the overall goal to enhance employability. The energy generation landscape in South Africa is undergoing a fundamental transition, as the vision of the energy strategy is 
to  contribute  to  an  affordable  energy  for  all.  This  vision  will  be  supported  by innovative labs and portals which will be developed within this project.  
One  of  the  goals  is  closing  the  gap  between  TVET  (Technical  and  Vocational Education and Training Colleges) studies and diploma study by the definition of industrial  experience  requirements  for  University  of  Technology  (UoT)  diploma students. This leads to an increased preparedness and “studyability” of UoT diploma students. Industrial stakeholders will be integrated into the process. The project will develop an “Industrial Portal” as a working tool.  
To  increase  industry  cooperation  in  post  graduate  education  “OpenLabs”  and “MobileLabs” will be  developed within the project. It is intended that industry brings industrial problems into the “Labs”, which will then be solved by the students.
