DEVELOP INNOVATIVE APPRENTICESHIP NETWORK OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS AND VERY SMALL ENTERPRISES IN THE METAL CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Context/background of the project For several years the European Commission has stressed in each of its communiqués the importance of vocational education and training (VET) for the employability of (young) people as well as for the competitiveness and growth of the economy. In many countries strategies to foster VET focus, however, largely on initial VET. The project covers a wide range of European Life Long Learning objectives and priorities that are related to the core philosophy of Erasmus+: Contributing to Lifelong Learning: Apprenticeship is one of the key issues in Lifelong Learning and thus a flexible dual education system specialised for SME’s is going to be huge improvement. Not only from the perspective of education, but mainly from the perspective of individuals on the labour market: migrants, workers who want to improve their skills and/ or people who are looking for a (new) job. Contribute to the development of quality lifelong learning and to promote high performance, innovation and a European dimension in systems and practices in the field: The development of an innovative flexible certificated standard of apprenticeship system under European cooperation is going to set the foundations for the development of high quality apprenticeship systems. Additionally, project's results and dissemination activities will promote the development of common European and national policies related to apprenticeship and will enhance attractiveness of VET and Life Long Learning at European level. Lack of apprenticeship certification discourages young people to become apprentices. Additionally, lack of regulation framework discourages firms to benefit from apprenticeship programs. An innovative flexible certificated standard of apprenticeship system will improve the quality, accessibility and attractiveness for VET and lifelong learning opportunities Support improvements in quality and innovation in vocational education and training systems, institutions and practices The project concerns an innovative apprenticeship system with improved quality due to its involving all interested parties . To enhance the attractiveness of vocational education and training and mobility for employers and individuals and to facilitate the mobility of working trainees An innovative apprenticeship system integrating work-based and school-based learning promotes the mobility of employers, individuals and working trainees. Sector Skills Alliances The project will bring together bodies with metal construction companies' specific expertise in three complementary fields: the world of vocational education and training, the labour market, and VET policy makers with the help of a more flexible education system in order to identify skills needed by the energy sector and to integrate sectorial skills. Promoting equality between men and women and contributing to combating all forms of discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation
