NEgotiating for Training
Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The NE.T. - NEgotiating for Training project runs from the needs ascertained in these years by training centres and trade unions. Tables of negotiation, piloting, monitoring and evaluation of the lifelong learning and VET of the Inter-professional Funds have been the place where these actors have been affected by the shortage of knowledge about activities and needs represented by the other, and highlighted the need to compare the Italian system with other systems to understand differences of communication and relation methodologies, both in the training negotiation and in the monitoring and evaluation processes. Objectives are: to analyse other systems’ characteristics and comparing them with the Italian ones, to put in evidence improvement elements of the Italian system of the negotiation for training, through peer review sessions; to adopt the improving elements in the negotiation and monitoring and evaluation processes of lifelong learning and VET. Participants are operators and managers who work for the lifelong learning and VET and come from training centres or trade unions. They work in the training system financed by the Inter-professional funds, with a long experience in the training negotiation, monitoring and evaluation and piloting/management actions included. The project activities foresee preparatory meetings (task related), with the aim to provide to participants a first information set concerning functioning and methodologies of other countries and Peer Review Procedure, which will be used for the exchange. The mobility activities foresee 3 travels of Italians towards each hosting country: 1° Travel – first group of participants (unionists and training staff) 2° Travel – second group of participants (unionists and training staff) 3° Travel – all people who took part in the first 2 travels will realise together the last part of mobility experience. The first 2 travels have the same program: visit to the training centre, to know the planning system and procedures of trade unions’ involvement; visit to the trade union with whom the training centre mainly works, to analyse negotiation methods on lifelong learning and VET; visit to 1/2 companies beneficiaries of lifelong learning and VET activities. The third travel sees the participation of all people who took part to the first two. The program foresees meetings with the hosting training centres and the trade unions and a comparison with 1/2 Italian experiences described by the mobility staff; peer review; immediate matching and follow up. The methodology of the project and of all activities is the Peer Review procedure, an external evaluation which adopts a training approach oriented to development and centred on promotion of the continuous improvement of quality according to an atmosphere of openness and mutual confidence, which contributes to increase transparency and comparison in Europe. Expected results are: to know the lifelong learning and VET systems of partners; the acquisition of competences about methods of Monitoring and evaluation; innovation in the negotiation methods trade unions/training world; exchange and integration between job world and lifelong learning world. The impact on participants concerns first of all the capacity to transfer the learned knowledge and competences in the negotiation tables for lifelong learning and VET. The participant organisations will acquire knowledge about the counterparts with whom interact and we expect that they will be able to efficacy interact on the negotiation tables. The Project is the first step for the realisation of a strategic partnership which, starting from the target countries of this project, will enlarge to other systems, even identified during the visits, with the aim to produce a change in the training negotiation at the local and European level, through the application of analysed, reviewed and integrated methodologies and operational procedures. In the middle-long term we expect a transfer of the knowledge by the participants to other subjects of their own system, with the aim to make the strategies for training negotiation more efficacy.
