<< Objectives >>The labor market particularly in the crafts sector has changed in the recent years and training companies are increasingly facing challenges such as integrating migrants, school/ university drop-outs, underachievers, making use of digital tools in apprenticeship and many more. The project will develop an innovative blended learning training course for in-company tutors/ VET trainers in dual education to enhance their skills for successfully coping with the special needs of apprentices of today.<< Implementation >>Activities foreseen are: 1) Needs analysis and definition of a comprehensive blended learning curriculum, covering the competence areas in which in-company tutors need to improve their skills; 2) Set-up and development of blended learning platform, learning content & media, assessment tools. 3) Pilot training with min. 100 participants; 4) Evaluation by direct target group (tutors/ trainers) and indirect target (apprentices) and optimisation of the blended learning curriculum and course<< Results >>Key results will be a blended learning curriculum and a fully developed blended training course for in-company tutors and VET trainers, based on identified labor market needs. In the pilot trainings 100 VET trainers/ tutors will be trained in DE, AT, IT and SI. After evaluation and further optimisation, the blended learning course will be permanently implemented by the project partners and promoted to VET providers across the EU.All results will be available in DE, EN, IT and SI language.
