Project description:
BRIDGES will support and facilitate the up-skilling of VET professionals at all levels (teachers, trainers, tutors, course developers, business development team, managers) through a baseline and bespoke framework on how to effective engage employers, and high quality open and innovative blended CPD activities, digital resources and Community of practice.
The starting point of this development process is the internal need analysis research made by the VET providers partners involved in BRIDGES, as well the Pan-European desk research and comparison of employment engagement practices and challenges, which will lead to the lead to the provision of the short-term outcomes and multilingual outputs (i.e. by the project’s completion) as well as longer term and sustainable outcomes (i.e. post project completion) for the countries involved as well as for VET providers across the EU.
Target groups:
- VET providers;
- VET professionals;
