The project aims to build the capacities of trainers and teachers in Egyptian vocational schools towards enabling them to deliver technical and soft skills which are considered critical for the jobs of the future in the automotive industry in line with Industry 4.0 and globalization requirements. The ultimate objective is to empower a new generation of automotive technicians capable to lead the impending industry reform in Egypt and to serve the growing needs of Europe for capable, mobile, taskforce thus serving the industry and contributing to socio-economic development. Skills include: E-mobility, programming, robotics, industry 4.0, cognitive, self-leadership, entrepreneurship and digital skills. The objectives of the project are fulfilled by providing trainers with a package of soft and technical skills which have been identified as the critical skills in jobs of the future and which have been found to be in shortage, or totally lacking, in Egyptian vocational schools while also providing them with the necessary methodology and pedagogy tools to drive maximum efficiency in knowledge transfer and learners’ motivation to learning and overall learning experience. The approach is planned to be documented in a published handbook as a best-practice for raising qualifications of vocational trainers to meet global demands of the new global 4th industrial revolution. The project also includes a component for the development of the next generation of capable vocational training heads following internationally accredited German standards towards sustainability of quality assurance of training and mobility of technicians between Egypt and Europe. The project partners hold independently and jointly, a vast experience in managing and developing vocational education as well as close ties with the industry in relevant job markets. The project builds on the existing vocational schools developed in Egypt in accordance with the German Dual Education system.
