Beyond 4 stage model

<< Background >>The project was designed to develop, test and promote adapted didactic materials in order to improve and secure a qualitively highstandard in VET education in the European plumbering sector, as for the implementation of WBL programs. B4S contributes to the professionalisation of WBL tutors active in sectoral companies, in a view to equip them with specific training and skills for the delivery of high-quality on-the-job experiences to trainees/WBL users. - contribute to set common denominators for what concerns the different national educational framework related to the figureof WBL tutors, starting from the German and Italian systemsThe design of outcome support these goals and will support SMEs in:- managing educational challenges in a rapid changing technology sector and supporting innovation in practical training- connecting technical and theoretical background with practical knowlegde- supporting the workforce integration in companies' working processesThe curriculum developed will ultimately lead to:- better performing trainees and, as a consequence 1) increasing for them the chances to be hired 2) strengthening theoverall programme of WBL instruments, showing their outcomes 3) restoring European economy << Objectives >>Improve quilty of VET in HVAC SectorImprove skills of personal involved in practical trainingenable and sensibilze VET Trainers to provide seminars and workshops on upskilling affective elarning goalsEnableing and support SMEs in:- managing educational challenges in a rapid changing technology sector and supporting innovation in practical training- connecting technical and theoretical background with practical knowlegde- supporting the workforce integration in companies' working processesdevelop a curriculum that:- better performing trainees and, as a consequence 1) increasing for them the chances to be hired 2) strengthening theoverall programme of WBL instruments, showing their outcomes 3) restoring European economy as a whole- improved sensitivity of practical VET educators on heterogenity of apprentices (WBL users/trainees)- improved systematic qualification and high level development of pedagogical, as well as professional and social skills.<< Implementation >>2 activities: 1. theoretical activities- design a didactic tool (HANDBOOK) of 60 pages- organise a 2-days CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR for the upskilling of WBL tutors and VETteachers in order for them to create forward-looking, individual WBL pathways for learners/WBL users.The goal is to create an innovative WBL procedure consisting of a sequence of activities carried out during the learningprocess, likely to inspire WBL professionals in their daily job. Indeed, this seeks to enable tutors to choose actions from avariety of useful learning tools and techniques. The proposed model will be structured as follows:a. Design of individual WBL pathways according to the specific needs of the apprentice, with a special focus on affectivelearning goals (soft skills' enhancement);b. Monitoring and assessment, lessons learned (boosting critical thinking). (Testing phase)2. implementation and disemination of results: provising workshops in Germany and Italy nationwide dissemination.engaging other stakeholders inside and outside Europe<< Results >>handbook of 78 pages, guideline for VET Trainers of 6 pagesproposal for a seminar scheduleoureach camaignthe content is uploaded in Erasmus projectbdatabase and the websites of the consortium members.EPALE blog https://epale.ec.europa.eu/en/blog/vet-vs-adult-education-what-can-they-learn-each-other
