Objective
The rapid economic, ecological, and technical changes caused by the continuing development of the single European market demand that young workers in particular, must have updated qualification profiles, and that this must be addressed in initial vocational education. Besides specialist competencies, key qualifications such as social and methodological competence have to be added to the training syllabuses.
Since structural change is not a country-specific problem, common strategies must be developed through international networking: to match commercial reality as closely as possible; and to be able to use the synergy between different vocational education systems. Further essential components of the pilot project will be the inclusion of foreign languages; the formulation of uniform standards for reciprocal recognition taking account of national characteristics; and the use of the latest communication and information techniques. By using new self-learning and action-oriented learning methods, the project will be carried out through cooperative teamwork; and the teacher will function as an advisor and tutor. The working language will be English.
In practice the project will oversee the creation of a simulated company, equivalent to a medium-sized firm, with a comprehensive environmental protection strategy, in which the students will develop an international production franchising system using the partner system. Among other tasks, they will have to work out data, acquire and manipulate information, conduct business in English and develop contract texts.
Impact
The pilot project will allow young workers to adapt to future developments and increase their competence in active, self-directed, and need-oriented continuing education. They will simultaneously improve both their own competitiveness and that of the firms employing them.
