Objective
The information society needs highly-qualified employees. Moreover, the pace of technological change demands that they continually update their knowledge and skills. This is a continuous truly life-long process which requires the mastery and critical use of various learning techniques.
This pilot project will develop new learning methods, syllabuses, and materials. It will be done in the knowledge that initial vocational training and continuing vocational training are not separate elements in the development of the individual but interconnected processes. Emphasis will be placed on establishing changes in the learning process and resulting changes in the learning environment, for example, curriculum, certification, teacher training and the use of teachers.
The aim is to facilitate continuous skills updating to meet the needs of workers and employers; to contribute to the reduction of unemployment; and to promote personality development. The direct beneficiaries will be all those participating in the project, including students, teachers, firms, and vocational schools.
Impact
The dual vocational training system in the Federal Republic of Germany will be qualitatively improved. With modularization, a greater emphasis on cross-disciplinary learning targets, and differentiated descriptions of the qualification profile achieved, the employment of skilled workers in European member states will be facilitated. The use of international learning opportunities via PC and the Internet will result in greater employee flexibility, among other things. Schools and businesses will adopt new teaching elements which will lead to greater learner independence.
