In the period 28 February -1 March 2022 the partners from the Skills Act 4 VET consortium held their fifth and last transnational meeting - this time in the capital of Italy. The hosts for this event were the partners from the Elidea-Psicologi Associati in Rome. The International Economic Relations Center to the Bulgarian Industrial Association (BIA) is a partner in the Skills Act 4 VET project.
After 2 years of hard work, the partners reviewed the results achieved and discussed final activities. The agenda of the meeting covered important topics, such as presenting the results of the test for self-assessment of acquired soft skills after a short-term mobility programme abroad, financial management, budget transfer, quality control and evaluation, dissemination activities, multiplier events to distribute IO, improvements to the website, and next steps and deadlines. The partners also had the pleasure of enjoying traditional Italian cuisine, culture and landmarks during their social lunch, walk through the historic center of Rome and apericena in Trastevere - one of the most beautiful and picturesque neighborhoods of the Eternal City.
Skills Act 4 VET aims to define the five most useful Soft Skills which are ACTivated during an international work-based experience by students who attend vocational educational training schools (VET schools).
Skills Act 4 VET is a tool to help students aged 14-18 carrying out short-term mobility programmes abroad, teachers preparing and supporting the activities and companies which host students to organise the internships better.
We plan to go to work with over 2.000 students, 800 teachers and 200 companies. At the end of this two-year project, we will be able to:
- help students, with an App that will support them during the internship, with recommendations and a test that measures the level and the quality of their Soft Skills;
- support teachers with a new intensive and specific e-learning training;
- support companies in providing more productive work placements.
