Context Transport is responsible for 27% of EU greenhouse gas emissions. The mobility sector is a crucial driver for the transition to a carbon-neutral future, with particular reference to passenger and freight transport. Transport and mobility services employ 11 million people, but transport generates pollution, accounting for almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, electric/hybrid vehicles make it possible to reverse the trend towards reducing CO2 emissions and sustainable transport, and the synergy between VET and automotive companies is a strategic asset. Specific Objectives -design, test and release (OER) of didactic content based on WBL methodology related to skills for the assembly and repair of vehicle electrification technologies / on-board avionics and first intervention procedures The resources for teaching will be expendable in I-VET and H-VET for the training of mechatronic operators, autronic technicians and car-repairers and transferable to other training settings, for work-based learning in laboratories or on the job (C-VET). Needs Analysis VET provider: adaptation of programs and teaching methodologies for the work based application of skills both for the assembly and maintenance of electric vehicles and for the design & maintenance of on-board avionics, as an evolution of the paradigm of sustainable mobility with resource saving, reduction of energy consumption and emissions; Business Partners: to favour the alignment of the VET sector to the demand for skills and the access of workers to knowledge/skills related to electric/hybrid engines and their maintenance/intervention, as well as to on-board avionics. Participants 1 Coordinator Cisita Parma, expert in situated learning and WBL processes 5 VET providers (EQF3-4-5 level) in Italy (Ferrari VET and ITS Maker), Sweden (GTG), The Netherlands (Stichting ROC Midden) and VAVM Lithuania, all specialized in the automotive sector. 3 companies from the automotive sector(Volvo Production house in SE), 1 SME focused on car repair (Lituania) & 1 SME with specific know how in consultancy e training on electric/hybrid engines (INNOVAM NL) Target Group VET LEARNERS within INTELLECTUAL OUTPUTS: 20 students*5 Output (IO2-IO3-I04-IO5-IO6) * 5 VET providers, selected among EQF 3, EQF4 (I-VET), EQF 5 (H-VET) or continuous training of workers for professional requalification/upgrading (C-VET); at least 15 VET teachers, 8 company technician and 4 company managers/trainers + 1 APPLICANT researcher within the 4 Innovation Garage/country Methodology Innovation Garage methodology applied to the work-based learning environment, for the development of educational programs, to be released in the form of OER, dedicated to the installation and maintenance of technologies for the electrification of vehicles and on-board avionics, as well as the procedures of road intervention and technical assistance. The Innovation Garage is a methodology for the development of innovation related to Design Thinking, and provides for the establishment of a "start-up" of product/process innovation / organizational models within the company context as a workplace, but open to the outside and co-designed - in technology, setting up the setting, hierarchical and operational relations, work processes - by VET teachers and trainers, VET students and workers in continuous training. Activities IO1: training programme for teachers, released as OER, for the transfer of the methodology of the Innovation garage located in the work place (WBL), to be tested within the C1 Short Term Joint Training Activity), aimed at the implementation of situated learning programmes, dedicated to electric/hybrid vehicles and their assembly/maintenance, as well as to on-board avionics and assistance and first intervention procedures. IO2: WBL-based OER training program located inside the innovation garage, related to assembly and installation of vehicle electrification technologies; IO3: WBL-based OER training program located inside the innovation garage, related to maintenance/repair of vehicle electrification technologies; IO4: WBL-based OER training program located in the innovation garage relating to the installation/verification of on-board avionics safety requirements; IO5: WBL-based OER training program located in the innovation garage relating to on-board avionics maintenance; IO6: WBL-based OER training program located in the innovation garage relating to customer service and first intervention procedures on the vehicle.
The IG2 Project in its life cycle pursued both general and specific objectives. General objectives: -promoting VET competence centres on sustainable mobility, called in project jargon "Innovation Garages", co-designed between VET providers and business actors in the automotive sector; -adapting VET provision, both in terms of methodology and training content, and bringing it closer to the labour market demand, through the enhancement of work-based and situational learning. Specific objectives: -designing and testing work-based training programmes (developed according to the logical flow of the contents described in the "Intellectual Outputs" section) aimed at training green skills for the automotive sector at VET level (electromobility: installation and maintenance of electric and hybrid vehicles; on-board avionics, their installation and maintenance; electric-hybrid vehicle safety and after sales customer management).
According to the European Green Deal policy document, at least 50% of the vehicles on the road in the EU should be electric or hybrid by 2030, rising to 90% by 2050. The mobility and transport sector is strategic for the EU economy, employing 11 million people, but is at the same time responsible for 27% of toxic emissions into the atmosphere. The development perspectives highlighted by the European Skills Agenda also identify green skills for young people and workers as a driver of growth that can lead Member States through the ecological transition to a competitive and sustainable Europe. In this context, the project therefore focused on the following needs: -needs of the VET system (responding to the demand for qualified professionals in the field of e-mobility; strengthening structured collaboration with the production system); -need of VET learners (to develop qualified professional skills in the field of green mobility; to easily enter the labour market); -need of automotive companies (respond to the growing need for qualified personnel in the field of e-mobility through training co-design).
