European Partnership for Service Speacialists
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

International cooperation between the initial VET providers very often is focused on the mobilities of students, teachers and trainers, development of the joint new training and /or study programmes and other issues. All these fields of cooperation are very important for improvement of quality and attractiveness of initial VET in the different countries. However, the potential benefits of such cooperation can remain very limited, if this cooperation does not entail methodical and holistic exchanges in the field of curriculum design by considering the comparative strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of curriculum design in the partners. Establishment and development of long term partnerships and networks of the initial VET institutions focused on the curriculum design in the different occupational fields presents by itself good opportunities to improve the contents of VET curricula and to make them more oriented to the international labour market needs thus enhancing effective and beneficial international movement of students and graduates in the EU. Therefore seven partners from 4 EU countries (Lithuania, Italia, Germany and Portugal) establishing the partnership of initial VET institutions focused on the intensive cooperation in designing and implementing of the initial VET curricula in the field of Floristic, Hospitality Management, Paramedic and Image Design. EUROPARTNERSS project goals will be achieved by : a) analysing and comparing the work processes of selected fields (Floristic, Hospitality Management, Paramedic and Image Design) in the partners countries by identifying the main changes of the work processes and their implications to the needs of competences; b) comparing of the competences and learning outcomes outlined in the curricula of Floristic, Hospitality Management, Paramedic and Image Design provided by the partners' institutions; c) setting-up a catalogue (list) of the work processes and related competences typical for partners countries; d) designing of the training modules for the selected work processes ; e) testing of the designed modules in the training systems of partners countries; f) preparing guidelines for the selection, usage and adaptation of developed modules in designing the initial VET programmes. After EOROPARTNERSS completion it is expected to have sufficiant material for 4 VET study programme development which would provide qualfications referenced to the EQF level 5 in the field of Floristic, Hospitality Management, Paramedic and Image Design which will help to correspond the need of initial VET schools and labour market in enhancing the mobility of students and improving the impact of this mobility to the skills development in four EU countries.
