Objective
In an increasingly competitive international market characterised by technological advances, new processes, improved knowledge and changing job profiles, there is a need for vocational training programmes to reflect new skills requirements. Students/workers must develop key competences in order to promote their own professional mobility, while employers need personnel with the appropriate skills to meet the challenge of the changing market. This project aims to assist in this process through the development and testing of methods and tools for identifying new skills, and integrating them into vocational training programmes.
Partners will analyse curricula to determine how competences are produced in the Member States within existing educational/training systems, compare the organisation of teaching/training and the results, and invite employers, teachers and students to give their views on the training process. A portfolio of skills common to the partner countries will be drawn up and used in the design of models/strategies for the development of key competences fundamental to the promotion of mobility.
Models of curricula, with accompanying self-training and ODL methods (tools and paper based), audiovisual and multimedia materials, and models for in-service training of teachers and trainers will be designed. These will be tested and submitted for validation to the appropriate accreditation authorities. The project results will be incorporated into initial and continuing education and vocational training programmes.
Impact
The project will lead to improved vocational training programmes, enhanced employment prospects and increased SME competitiveness.
