The objectives of the project are to attract more attention to the need of incorporating new working practices into a training process as they are not covered by the vocational school curricular in the slightest. As it is a small-scale project, we intended to spot some good practices, develop a model course syllibus and some relevant course contents to generate greater interest to this burning issue. We were able to produce some more innovative and more varied educational resources; including open educational resources, related to Co-working, for VET learners who at the present do not possess the needed key skills to work remotely. We wanted to familiarise educators and, respectively, their students, with new working practices, namely Co-working so as to meet the needs of the labour market and to bridge the gap related to skills mismatches between Education&Traning and the world of work. We also aimed to extend the supply of learning opportunities tailored to the needs of learners so that they could enhance their 21st century skills and become more responsive to the market requirements. By building capacity of organisations to work transnationally and across sectors we contributed to young people' higher employability.
The project directly addresses the needs and goals of the participating organisations as their main aims are to helpeffectively prepare young people for their working lives. Businesses across public and private sector increasingly recognize the benefits of hiring and retaining remote workers. Societal trends also push more businesses towards adopting more flexible working policies and allowing at least partial telecommute. As more and more people are planning to transition to remote work, VET educators have to contribute to such changes, which is why our project caters for the need of both VET educators and young people. The project is of significant importance for teachers to develop particular attitudes, be more confident and creative in applying different learning methods, styles and techniques. We are aware that the methods and styles should be in line with a more learner-centred approach which redefines the traditional student-teacher relationship in the classroom and can include collaborative research projects, group projects, debates, study teams, peer-to-peer teaching as face-to-face classroom instruction is integrated with online components that helps to extend learning beyond the classroom or school day.
