Project SAGA for VET
Based on analyses of unoccupied work positions for particular professions, of registered unemployed suitable for requalification in these professions, of the opportunities for VET in these professions, the partners have selected 6 educational programs relevant for this project.
Since these educational programs are well covered in AT and DE, the main aim of the SAGA for VET project, is to transfer of the elements of dual education from AT and DE to SK, within selected programs.
During the project the Comparative analysis of the selected programs in AT, DE and SK will be made. By such analysis we would define the differences in selected programs and in approach to educational process for requalification in particular countries (AT, DE and SK). Such analysis would be crucial, for decision of interested partners on which elements of programs should be transferred from AT and which from DE.
We are planning the trainers training for particular programs, by which the candidates for guarantees and teachers from SK would be trained in partners facilities in AT and DE. By such trainings these trainers would gather relevant knowledge for relevant selection of the elements of dual VET, and their successful transfer to SK, by their incorporating to Slovak educational programs.
After the trainers’ trainings, the SK partners would create particular courses and relevant documents necessary for successful accreditation of the educational programs, focusing on local requirements and legislation.
After successful accreditation, the SK partners would prepare the Comparative analyses of established programs, which would outline the innovations in educational programs compared to AT and DE programs, and these innovations would be then transferred back to AT and DE educational environments, and used by AT and DE partners.
After selections of candidates for pilot testing of the programs (from registered unemployed) and suitable region for pilot testing (concerning the actual needs of local employers for particular professions), the SK partners would run pilot education for each program.
Based on gathered knowledge and experiences regarding the transfer of the elements of dual education, accreditation process and pilot testing, the partners would issue the Best practice methodology, which might be used by third parties in similar processes in the future.
Concerning the current actuality of theme of dual VET, and the innovations in approach in particular programs, which might be multiplied for other programs in future, and concerning the opportunity of further effect of these new dual educational programs within the key actions on labor market, and the commercial potential of the innovative outcomes of the project, the partners would issue the recommendations for local authorities, which might incorporate the project outcomes to their policies in fields of vocal education and trainings and employment affairs.
Project SAGA for VET is focused on professions and areas, which, notwithstanding the reform of vocal education system, which is currently in progress in Slovakia, are underestimated and are not covered by the education system, our project brings solutions how to conquer these challenges in short term period.
The indirect beneficiaries of the project outcomes would be all registered unemployed, who would attend the requalification courses through the key actions on the labor market, as well as the SME and enterprise, who would benefit from the qualified labor force suitable their needs available on the labor market.
The partnership of partners, who are leading subjects in their particular fields of engagement within the project, and principal representatives of the project and following activities in their home countries, guarantee the relevant qualification for successful implementation of the project, for achievement of the project goals and objectives in relevant quality, as well as for successful dissemination of the project outcomes to reach the target group of dissemination in best possible way.
The participants in the trainers’ trainings would be Slovak leading experts in particular fields, who would expand their professional knowledge and experience, to provide the added value for the project activities, and to guarantee the expertise in the process of transfer of the elements of dual VET.
The participants of the pilot testing, as well as the future participants in new educational programs, as the registered unemployed, are facing the economic objectives, for their voluntary participation in such programs. From the long term perspective, these participant would benefit from the projects outcomes in same way as unemployed did in AT and DE in past, when similar programs were established there, and the unemployment itself would be reduced.
Since the activities within the project are multipliable for significant target group, and might be used also after the end of financing from the grant
