Work-based learning is a powerful tool to help trainees to acquire knowledge, skills and competences with direct relevance for the labor market. Project partner routinely organizes VET courses, but their procedures for VET planning, managing, monitoring and assessment are not formalized or, even if formalized need to be improved. The need for better organization of VET courses and related WBL experiences is also stressed by a number of policy documents such as the Riga Conclusions (2015) and the Bruges Communique (2010). This project wants to improve efficacy of VET courses based on work based learning by: • describing the profile of competence of VET PLANNERS, that is to say instructors and VET trainers involved in planning, monitoring and assessment of VET courses (IO1) • helping VET Planners to identify the strong and weak points of their competence and get their competence validated (IO4) • training VET Planners face to face (IO2) or at a distance (IO3) so to fill their competence gaps. The consortium is composed by VET and research organizations based in FR, ES, IT, DE, RO. Approximately over 400 VET Planners will directly participate in the project by describing their main tasks, assessing their competence and/or getting trained and over 15.000 people working or interested in VET will be informed about the project. Long term benefits will be more effective planning, managing, monitoring and assessment of VET courses.
