The project SuccessVET wants to increase the availability of tools which help to strenghten the apprencticeship. The number of dropouts will be reduced and the candidates are empowered to finish their education successfull. Based on an existing toolbox in Switzerland, the partners assess und improve checklists and tools in correspandance to their experience and needs. In dissemination workshops the five partner organisations inform about the project and the toolbox. A public website will be available for companies providing professional education and training. The sustainability of professional training will be increased. The exchanges of tools leads to innovation in procedures.
In 2017, we started the implementation phase of the Erasmus+ project “Success factors in vocational training”. Up to date, we examined the six hypotheses from the eponymous book in the countries Italy (South Tyrol), Liechtenstein, Austria (Salzburg) and Switzerland (Zug). At four multiplier events we could present the national results to the different countries. Finally, at the closing event in Schaan we could compare the results and present the best success factors for each hypothesis. We are astonished how multifaceted the dual vocational training is. Because of the different methods in the regions the dual system could prove itself. Due to the different economic situations respectively the general conditions for education policy there are various success factors in each region.
