Objective
The development and dissemination of computer technology plays an important role in the training of technical assistance workers in the agriculture sector. Vocational training strategies can be effective if they focus on a specific crop and respond to the real needs of growers. The area of pest control is of major importance because the wide use of agrochemicals gives rise to a number of toxicological, environmental factors and product issues. Growing public health concerns need to be dealt with by providing constant up-dating of people working in the integrated pest management (IPM) field. The aim of the project is to therefore to develop new and appropriate training in this field.
The following activities are planned:
- analysis of current knowledge and competences for integrated biology control employees and technicians involved in IPM projects;
- analysis of current training provision;
- development of a set of continuing vocational training units;
- production of a multimedia training software programme.
Impact
This project will improve the effectiveness of vocational training in the field of pest control and, ultimately, reduce public health problems.
