Practice companies as a teaching platform for vocational in-company training in SMEs

Objective

SMEs have difficulty finding forms of continuing vocational in-company training that are precisely geared to their needs. The idea is, therefore, to use practice companies as learning locations since they are flexible and can offer learning situations built on the essential qualification requirements of SMEs. The prerequisite for this is to first determine the changing working requirements of SMEs.

An analysis of training needs for the commercial activities of SMEs will include semi-standardised surveys of both employees and management personnel. Future requirements will be included in the analysis through talking to representatives of relevant chambers, federations and the social partners. Learning objectives will then be drawn up on the basis of the analysis, followed by the development of learning arrangements in practice companies as an organisational form of learning. Teaching aids are to be produced for instructors, as well as working materials for those taking part in the training courses. The results will take the form of a transnationally co-ordinated methodology for determining training requirements in SMEs and adapting these into programmes offered in practice companies, as well as a multi-module, flexible training programme for SMEs.

Impact
This project provides support for continuing vocational training in SMEs by determining specific training needs and taking these as a basis for developing appropriate flexible learning materials.
