Methods and tools to enhance continuing vocational training

Objective

In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to raise awareness about the importance of continuing training in the European Union. These efforts have centred on the development of short courses and distance learning programmes. However, many distance learning initiatives, using software videotapes or texts, do not provide for any interaction between the learner and a trainer.

This project will address the following questions : are technological solutions the only way of ensuring that vocational training is up-to-date; and how can distance learning take more account of trainer/trainee relationships?. The partners therefore intend to examine current experimental approaches in order to make recommendations about the most effective way forward for distance training in future. More specifically, this will entail : an analysis of existing training measures and recent technological innovations; production of an inventory of continuing vocational training methods and tools; adaptation of existing training packages; and testing these in various situations in other European countries. A series of reports on the above will be the main project outcome.

Impact
The project will provide an insight into state-of-the-art training practices in Europe, and will consequently enable practitioners and users to identify more easily the most appropriate and efficient form of training.
