Objective
Technological and organisational changes in the European process industry have caused a greater demand for employees with vocational qualifications. Traditionally however, a relatively high percentage of workers in this sector have no or little prior vocational education. The process industry also needs a structured method for identifying changes in job requirements and re-qualification needs, in order to effectively train workers on-the-job.
This project therefore aims to improve process industry workers' qualifications by developing an integral methodology/policy for vocational training. A coherent set of instruments will be developed for job analysis, competence analysis and assessment, training needs analysis, training plan development and in-company training delivery. These instruments will be tested and evaluated in companies in different European countries.
Impact
This project will improve the extent to which educational systems respond adequately to the specific training needs of the process industry.
