The project aims to provide effective and necessary training and support for VET teachers to enable them to identify and respond to skill-gaps in the labour market, but also involving other relevant stakeholders - students, parents, teaching staff, and particularly employers experiencing difficulties finding skilled workers to fill vacancies. The consortium will develop, test and deliver standardized, comprehensive toolkits packaged as a set of teaching, collaboration, and communication methods. This will include a rapid curriculum development methodology for VET teachers, to be used in conjunction with potential employers, to identify skill-gaps and to design, develop and deliver upskilling training for students. The toolkit will be tested within the IT sector, but the standardized version will be equally applicable to other vocational education subjects.
