Transnational virtual companies in the initial vocational training

Objective

So-called "virtual companies" have, over the past few years, been a determining factor for the development of company structures. Bringing together the right resources for specific tasks will be important for companies' ability to survive in the future. New, process-oriented, intercultural and information technology qualifications are needed for these business structures. The principal aim of this project is to develop, impart and test new and adequate qualifications for working in such virtual companies.

Trainees and instructors in the initial training partner institutions will, in a project-oriented manner, develop forms of production and services comprising varying work content at transnational level, which they will first implement in simulated processes and later in the real world in the form of "mini-companies". The product will take the form of an efficient transnational information and data communication system with appropriate teaching materials and media. In addition, recommendations will be developed for companies with regard to how internal initial training and personnel advancement can be combined with the further development of flexible, market-oriented structures for internal and external operating processes.

Impact
This project will enable those in initial vocational training to be taught how to handle new information technologies and use these as a simulator for problems that have to be solved.
