| Project aim and expected results | The aim of the project is to encourage companies to accept trainees into various types of transnational work-based learning (virtual, mixed), especially in the uncertain and changing conditions of the COVID19 pandemic, by creating the necessary digital tools to carry out such learning. Expected results: 1. Online tutorials to develop key digital skills for trainees undertaking physical, virtual or blended TWBL: to improve students’ awareness and capacity to make effective use of the most valuable digital tools currently available before, during and after a work-placement; 2. Digital marketing materials for TWBL in light of COVID19: that can be used by VET providers to showcase the value of hosting trainees from another country to companies and increase awareness of new approaches such as possibilities for virtual and blended work-based learning; 3. Online “Market-Place” to facilitate TWBL opportunities in a COVID19 context: this innovative and user-friendly digital tool will allow the remote matching of trainees and host companies for transnational work-based learning. |
