"We see the role of teachers as vital in the learning process of students. However, in the true spirit of Lifelong Learning, teaching roles and required competencies need further development to sustain high-quality education, especially in the digital age. Recent research on the 'Open Education Europe' platform initiated by the European Commission shows that 70% of VET teachers understand the importance of digitally assisted teaching and learning, but 6 out of 10 people do not receive any training on how to use ICT in the classroom. As a result, only 1 out of 5 students is digitally taught by confident and supportive teachers. Digital skills are one of those skills that will play a big role in our lives, both personally and professionally. As the digital age continues to evolve extremely rapidly, these skills are in dire need of development. To enable students to acquire these skills during their education, it is necessary to be skillful so that they can advance their digital when they enter the business and start the field. This project will create a continuous digital literacy learning cycle for VET teachers and some.Our TCC VET project ""is focused on providing systematic approaches and opportunities for the initial and continuous professional development of VET teachers, trainers, and mentors in both school and work-based settings, and developing an effective open and innovative education method through the use of ICT technologies."" To achieve this, TCC VET has provided digital and interactive tools that will directly contribute to VET TEACHERS 'PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT and improve their lessons using modern technology.In this project, 5 project partners worked together, achieving the targeted project outputs to achieve the goal of creating a continuous digital literacy learning cycle for VET.Our project outputs are:-IO1 - TCC VET TEACHER TOOLBOX (Collect and develop low barrier tools for VET teachers to use directly in the classroom)-IO2-TCC VET TEACHER HANDBOOK (Support teachers with a special to motivate and demonstrate the use of digital tools and teaching methods to VET teachers)-IO3-STRATEGIC ROADMAP (Determining for VET school management to best integrate interactive and digital education into their schools)-IO4- Facilitating the TCC VET TOGETHER teachers community. (To facilitate change and peer support. We also facilitate the international exchange of knowledge, skills, and experience and peer support among teachers. Enabling innovative approaches and inspiration to flow from one country to another.)Web page:http://tccvet.com Visit out community: https://thalys.gr/course/index.php?categoryid=43 ( Here you will be able to download the above-mentioned results.) eTwinning page: https://live.etwinning.net/projects/project/193077 Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tccvet2018 These 4 concrete Outputs were shared with VET schools, teacher training universities, VET networking organizations, and other relevant stakeholders and relevant external parties through Multiplier Activities and other forms of communication.The methodology used: Our project management methodology is based on ongoing internal and external evaluation with high frequency and open communication between partners, commitment to cooperation, well-defined and understood roles and responsibilities, clarity of tasks, deadlines, and requirements. Obtained results; • During the COVID 19 pandemic, the need for digital competencies has become more important for teachers and students. Our project continues to guide VET teachers and students during the ongoing pandemic process. • The awareness of teachers about using new teaching methods has been increased, • Teachers' use of digital, interactive tools and teaching methods in lessons has had a positive effect on their approach to involving students in the lesson.• Exchange and peer support was provided among motivated teachers regarding the application of digital tools and modern interactive teaching methods.• Continuity has been ensured in teachers' career development.• To school administrations; Guided them to align practice in the classroom with school policy regarding specific interactive, visual and digital teaching methods.Impact envisaged en long term benefits: VET teachers are the central target group of our project because they transfer their knowledge to the ultimate beneficiaries: the students. They need to understand digital education, explore and acknowledge the opportunities it brings and know how to use it in the teaching and learning process. The above-mentioned funding spent on technology investment will be ineffective if teachers cannot optimally use the facilities in their teaching.Therefore, TCC VET will take an integrated approach to serve the needs of teachers and their VET colleges, to optimally engage the final beneficiaries, the students. They need to become very familiar with digital skills and feel comfortable to continuously keep learning when new technologies or applications arise. This project, therefore, doesn’t foresee a specific single training for teachers and ultimately the students but it will create a continuous cycle for VET teachers to keep up to date with new technologies, applications, and programs so that there will be a continuous cycle of life long learning at the VET schools."
