EUROPEA Austria, the network of agricultural educational institutions, aims to support implementation of ECVET in the member institutions. The KA1 project RECO (Recognising Competences) of EUROPEA Austria considered results of the ToI project ANGIE 2.0 (A New Generation in Education) and aims to improve the quality of internships with ECVET tools. RECO facilitates a 4-week internship for 16 students of agricultural colleges and a 4-5 day job shadowing for 17 trainers in agricultural colleges in 7 partner countries (DK, ES, FR, NL, PT, RO, SE). Students will increase their expertise in the fields of wine marketing, food safety, sustainable forestry, water quality and water use, horse management in the service of people with special needs, dairy farming and marketing of organic products, test ECVET tools and carry out their recordings in the form of blogs. By using job shadowing trainers will share their knowledge about curricula, compare the use of ECVET instruments, practice and apply assessment tools (eg STARRT method), expand their knowledge in the assessment of competences, observe entrepreneurs in the contact with trainees and hold short guest lectures on the state of implementation of ECVET in Austria. In addition to the expertise it will come to a strengthening of social and personal skills such as self-employment, strengthening of personality, conscious placement in a community or a work environment, problem solving and conflict resolution through the living and working directly on the farms and enterprises in the host country. The cooperation in an international environment and adaptation to new work situations will improve the ability to communicate in English. By keeping a blog, the reflective skills are increased. Trainers will have a broader knowledge of education systems in European countries and the potential of ECVET, EQF and ECVET tools. They will have techniques for assessment of competence and a broader personal network. As a result, the number of schools with more competent educators the ECVET application will increase since these trainers will implement and apply their knowledge in their institutions and provinces. They will contribute to a system change, participate in the construction of new assessment strategies and improve the quality of agricultural vocational training and advisory service. Companies will have increased their ability to create learning situations to gain competencies agreed in learning agreements and assess those with transparent instruments. As a result, the quality of the placements will improve in the long run. EUROPEA Austria can rely on tested learning units and offer them to their members in the near future.
