WinAPP - Work process oriented, interactively enhanced and APP supported learning and training in construction VET in Europe

Overview

Country:
Germany

Level of Outreach:
Local, Regional, National

Field of Interest(s):
Digitalization, Promotion of the attractiveness of the Construction Industry

Supported By:
EU

Description

The objective has been to analyse in detail the existing models and methods of work process orientation and the degree of application in VET in the partner countries by a) desk research and b) by interviews with VET-trainers/teachers and apprentices. This should lead to a realistic approach how to cope with current requirements by the applying target groups how an APP should look like, what it should provide and which should be the core contents in terms of conveying method and practice. The APP-development will incorporate versions for apprentices and VET-trainers/teachers. The new form (APP) will cope with the need for updating the form of media and thus the acceptance to work with the contents and methods. Eventually this should open new chances for young people to enter the labour market and lower youth unemployment rates.
