Objective
Training for education in technology depends on the understanding and co-operation of the technological world and the consideration of commercial concerns that have a considerable impact on today's labour market. Training should make individuals employable in the widest sense of the term, that is to say it should be attuned to labour market needs and trends.
This project will deal with this issue by developing a problem solving approach, through which trainees are encouraged to reflect upon their own learning process. They will learn how to learn, which will be transferable to other disciplines and have a permanent impact on their career development. The focus will be on the observation and development of mental, methodological and behavioural skills which will help guide trainees in their choice of technological occupation. Training methods and contents will be overhauled and included in a set of training modules. These will be made available on the Internet and, later, in the form of a distance learning package.
Impact
The general impact of this project will be a rethink of technological occupations. It will above all ensure that technology trainees are of a higher quality because they will have made career choices based on a positive choice rather than on failure in other areas. There will therefore be a real impact on current and future employment in Europe.
