From a rookie to an expert –internationalisation pathways for vocational education and training (VET) trainers
On the one hand, working life is becoming increasingly multicultural, while on the other, the labour market is becoming increasingly international, requiring international skills and competences. Vocational education and training (VET) trainers are increasingly required to possess these skills in order to guide and prepare students.
On the one hand, working life is becoming increasingly multicultural, while on the other, the labour market is becoming increasingly international, requiring international skills and competences. Vocational education and training (VET) trainers are increasingly required to possess these skills in order to guide and prepare students.
During the event, emphasis will be placed on how to:
- increase ownership of internationalisation activities within VET institutions and involve more teachers and staff members in this type of activity;• promote and support the professional development of VET institution staff in terms of the skills needed for internationalisation;• document and recognise learning and skills acquired on the topic of internationalisation through the Open Badge system.
The event is aimed at:
- directors of vocational training institutions who aspire to increase ownership of internationalisation activities within their institution and want to support the development of their staff’s skills in the field of internationalisation;
- designers, coordinators and representatives of Erasmus and internationalisation activities at their institution, in order to involve more colleagues in these activities and further promote their organisation’s development strategy;
- trainers interested in internationalisation issues who want to increase their skills in this area.
