PI-VET: Powering the Innovation of VET, is an Erasmus+ KA2 project (Project number: 2021-1-BG01-KA220-VET-000034634) which started in January 2022.
New technologies, new business models, digitalization, artificial intelligence, demographic and climate changes, and the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 demand flexible responses from VET systems, with appropriate methodologies to foster resilience and responsiveness to changing societal and labor market needs. VET providers play a fundamental role in this scenario: as stressed by the Council Recommendation of 24 November 2020 on Vocational Education and Training (VET) for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience (2020/C 417/01), high quality and innovative vocational education, and training systems provide people with skills for work, personal development, and citizenship, which help them to adapt to and deliver on the twin digital and green transitions, to cope with emergency situations and economic shocks, while also supporting economic growth and social cohesion. In this context, PI-VET intends to provide VET teachers and trainers with an innovative methodology and tools to co-create with their learners and external stakeholders learning programs that inclusive, digital, green, and more responsive to societal and labor market needs
The main objectives of the PI-VET project are the following:
• To design an innovative methodology and tools to let VET providers co-create with learners and external stakeholders learning programs that embed inclusive, digital, and green practices and that are more responsive to societal and labor market needs.
• to digitalize VET training for trainers, giving them not only tools, but methodologies, guidelines and platforms for being used in their daily work in a collaborative manner.
• to foster the involvement of all the stakeholders who have an interest in the innovation and quality in VET at a national and international level (e.g. companies, institutions and policy-makers, organizations representing the business world, VET centers etc.), to shape VET provision through a virtual cooperation platform and a Public Ranking Tool.
