Vocational Training for Sports Centres Employees with European Certificate (EuroSport)

The target group for this project is the personnel of Sports Centres (SCs) within the EU. The European Network of Sport Science Education and Employment has estimated this target group to be 300 000 employees with little or no vocational education and training. They are identified as low skilled workers with responsibility for the day to day care and administration of SCs with more than a billion visits of persons who undertake physical exercise to improve their health and wellbeing. The possibility to follow VET programmes does not exist and the profession have few opportunities to develop a career. Successful athletes are often hired as janitors of sports grounds, and in other cases hiring is done after temporary work. This project is aimed at transferring of innovative VET programmes certified in 10 European sport VET systems, at adapting and integrating them in the national qualifications framework and system. The objectives are:1 Identifying and analysing user requirements of SCs employees and managers, sport education providers and policy makers in Bulgaria, Germany and Sweden.2 Analysis and adoption of common certification principles based on the ECVET system and description, via national qualifications frameworks and systems, of the VET qualifications in terms of learning outcomes.3 Selecting and adapting innovative VET content and training methods to reach these outcomes and to meet the specific user requirements. 4 Transferring the adapted VET materials and development of e-learning support materials and a new course in kinesitherapy and rehabilitation for sport centres instructors. 5 Pilot test of the VET courses with trainees from public and private sport centres with delivery of European certificate.The EuroSport project features well-balanced partnership in terms of organisations involved and expertise required: training providers, employers, sports association, national governmental organization, project management experts, developers of e-learning systems.
