Objectives

Vocational training is rarely offered in national sign language which is a barrier preventing deaf students from proceeding studies. SignVET aims to empower VET Schools to provide course materials in national sign language, fostering inclusive learning environments for all. The objectives of the project are (A) equip teachers to translate course material to national sign language, (B) improve the access of the deaf to course materials and (C) promote sign language skills in hearing students.
