VET-WEB - Valorising Experiences for Training in Western Balkans

VET-WEB is embedded in the context of the VET system of the Western Balkans, in particular Albania and Montenegro, and takes into consideration the current problems and challenges that slow down its competitiveness and attractiveness, causing a chain effect that leads to poor support to the economic and social development of the territories of interest. The exchange with other VET institutions and organizations devoted to training and job placement of citizens with consolidated experience from Programme countries is intended to promote, also through dynamics of two ways exchange, the construction of collaborative networks between public and private entities and to foster the ability of the VET ecosystem to respond to the actual needs of the socio-economic structure of the territory, with respect to the labour market. The logic of the project is based on a constant twinning, coaching and support between Programme Countries partners and Western Balkans VET providers with a bottom-up approach. VET providers and other organizations devoted to training and job placement are going to help Western Balkans VET providers to improve their managerial, organizational, pedagogical, communication, networking skills and competencies. The capacity building activities are structured with five lots of activities, addressing specific areas of work:– 1: Staff mobility for capacity building activities– 2: Events and conferences– 3: Pilot students' mobilities– 4: Networking– 5: Sharing of operational and strategic tools for capacity building The partnership intends to improve the innovation and modernization of Western Balkans VET providers, aligning it with European VET strategies. The project intends therefore to develop long-term services and outputs that can affect and influence the whole VET community of the Western Balkans
