The project is aimed at providing effective and necessary training and support for VET teachers to enable them to identify and respond to skill-gaps in the labour market, with also involving other relevant stakeholders - students, parents, teaching staff, and particularly employers experiencing difficulties finding skilled workers to fill vacancies. The consortium members - Estonian, Italian, British and Hungarian teams - develop, test and deliver standardized, comprehensive toolkits packaged as a set of teaching, collaboration, and communication methods and a rapid curriculum development methodology for VET teachers, to be used in conjunction with potential employers to identify skill-gaps, and to design, develop and deliver up-skilling training for students.
As part of the project, we developed a continuing education program and electronic curriculum for VET teachers and trainers with the participating international partners that demonstrates state-of-the-art technology tools for teaching, collaborative learning, and curriculum development in a practice-oriented approach. The training course has been tested with the involvement of Estonian, Hungarian and Italian teachers, then the consortium partners will finalize it, based on the feedbacks and it will be recognized in each country according to the partners' national internal system.
