Mrs Daria Mihaylova from Bulgarian associated ENNE network partner National High school in finance and business completed 5 days Job shadowing program at EPROMAT – Escola Profissional de Matosinhos in Portugal.

Within ENNE Project, the implementation of Job-shadowing experiences abroad among VET teachers and Staff aims to:

Give teachers the opportunity to observe and learn the best practices developed in other EU countries;
Get inspired by new ideas for teaching in VET;
Give the hosting organisation the opportunity to interact with a teacher coming from another country and discuss about today’s educational challenges and opportunities;
Create/strengthen connections between teachers and potential partners, capable of providing them with expertise and resources for their classrooms and schools.

Here is what Daria says about her experience:

Why did you participate in the Job Shadowing activity? What were your main goals?

I took part in mobility with the intention of accumulating additional experience in the organization of the learning process in a vocational school, to observe the work and functionality of a vocational school outside my country. As a humanitarian discipline teacher at a vocational school, I wanted to see ideas that I could implement in my day job. My interests were focused on IT and the field of multimedia, as these are areas where I make efforts to increase my qualification and the experience I have gained will be useful to me in working with students, and it is also know-how to share with my colleagues. I was able to see a practical absorption of digital, professional and humanitarian competences. To discover the benefits and opportunities that vocational education provides so that I can include them as part of my daily teaching and administrative work. I gained knowledge and competencies in the field of VET teaching and administration, as well as had the opportunity to learn about new teaching methods.

What were your expectations? Did you manage to get most of the experience?

My expectation was to see a functional and interdisciplinary application of professional competences. During my stay at the school, I saw interdisciplinary approaches and the application of extremely many inter-essential connections, also emphasized teamwork and enhancing students’ cognitive and performance skills. Together with our Portuguese colleagues, we had the opportunity to participate actively in the teaching process and the work process, which was key to gaining experience.

What was the most interesting thing you learned related to your job/duties?

The most useful experience I gained from my stay at the Epromat school was the different approach to teamwork of students, the evaluation of their projects and their presentation. The ability of students to work extremely interdisciplinary, such as in IT and multimedia classes, to prepare sites and projects related to other subjects. In this way, they accumulate professional skills, but also build on their knowledge in all school disciplines.

The overall experience was extremely useful, I found new ideas and techniques that I will be able to apply to teaching in my school. I have also enriched myself with a lot of interesting information that I can share with my colleagues.

From 25 to 29 April, the Liceo Statale “E. Majorana” of San Giovanni La Punta welcomed Helena Lourenco de Sousa and Filipa Vilares, from Portugal, for a job-shadowing experience, which turned out to be very constructive.
Helena and Filipa had a lesson in English with the students of the Liceo Linguistico, during which they presented a video about Portugal and Madeira, before going on to learn more about multimedia techniques and languages in video production.

In the following days, they took part in PCTO/school-to-work activities, carried out by classes of the Liceo Linguistico, which included the preparation of a short presentation in Spanish of the artistic and cultural value of sites, which, dressed up as guides for one day, were included in a tour of the historical centre of Catania, carried out at the end of the project.

In Taormina, a PCTO activity on the profession of an archaeologist took place, involving students from the Liceo Classico.
Helena and Filipa had the opportunity to combine a visit to some of Sicily’s major tourist attractions with the school’s VET/PCTO activities.

After a long pause due to the pandemic, the students of ITE Scarpellini in Foligno are finally back on the road again, thanks to a partnership project entirely focused on climate change.
In October 2021 in Lithuania, took place the first meeting of the transnational experience, focused on “The Factors Influencing Climate Change”. A small team of teachers – Vanessa Sabatini and Ines Torresand – and pupils – Cecchetti Denise, Kulli Serena and Romano Graziella – hosted by the school “Panevėžio 5-oji gimnazija”, in Panevėžys.

The Italian school had the opportunity to see folk dances, listen to Lithuanian songs and see a presentation show.
All Italian team, together with the other partners from Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and Portugal, took part in a training course and exchange of good practices aimed at raising awareness among the participating schools on the issue of climate change, especially on water quality and pollution.

For five days, the pupils have been involved in a series of activities such as the collection and analysis of water samples at various sites around Lithuania, the discovery of symbolic places as a visit to the Pasvalys sinkholes and the company responsible for water distribution in the surrounding towns.
They were also able to take part in making handicrafts with recyclable materials at the school’s workshops, using techniques such as collage and composing with natural flowers to create decorative objects.

A very interesting visit was the city of Vilnius, the Pašiliai reserve, where it was possible to see bison in the wild, and the medieval capital of Lithuania, Trakai, and its Red Castle overlooking Lake Galve, one of the most beautiful places in the country.
Thanks to all the activities carried out, the students had direct contact with nature and interaction with teenagers from other cultures, the importance of sharing good practices to protect the environment and thus become citizens of the world, responsible and aware of the risks of our planet.
At the end of this training course, the students of ITE Scarpellini also enriched their skills in English, a fundamental tool for communication between the participating partners.
In May, Turkey will host the partners in the evocative backdrop of the city of Istanbul, and other students and teachers will be involved.

Geen reacties op PGEE Galabovo hosted a job shadowing guest – lecturer from Italy within ENNE project – European National Networks for the Enhancement of VET

Michelangelo Capodimonio from Foligno, Italy was a guest lecturer at PGEE, Galabovo in the period from 21.03.2022 to 25.03.2022. His visit was part of the activities of ENNE – European National Networks for the Enhancement of VET project, No. 608964-EPP-1-2019-1-IT-EPPKA3-VET-NETPAR for welcoming mobility of “Job shadowing” for teachers within the international network ENNE. The Italian colleague is an engineer with a degree in “Electronics” with three years of teaching experience and at IPSIA ,,Beato Simone Fidati”- city of. He has also been trained at the University of Cascia (Cascia).

ENNE is an Erasmus+ project which aims to enhance the quality and attractiveness of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in five partner countries (Italy, Bulgaria, Germany, Portugal and Belgium) with a specific focus on mobility opportunities.

The last phase of the ENNE project is being implemented, which is mainly focused on organising transnational mobility activities for both VET staff and students and has the following objectives:

– improving cooperation between VET providers at national and European level;

– sharing good practices;

– promoting mutual learning methodologies among VET staff;

– promoting the acquisition of soft skills for VET learners;

Observation as a method of working represents a very effective method of achieving these objectives as it provides an opportunity to visit another (host) and observe the work for an agreed period of time.

ENNE job shadowing is based on good practice identified within national networks and these aim to:

– enable teachers to observe and learn best practices developed in other EU countries;

– inspire new ideas for teaching in VET;

– enable the hosting organisation to interact with a teacher coming from another country and discuss today’s educational challenges and opportunities;

– create/strengthen relationships between teachers and potential partners to provide expertise and resources for their classrooms and schools.

Geen reacties op Inclusion through Mobility

All over Europe there is a need for innovative ways to include young people in difficulty into education and training. Internships abroad offer great opportunities for learners as they have a positive effect on learning performance and motivation, support the further development of personality and significantly improve the chances on the labour market.

The Erasmus+ project InMobVET therefore developed the following resources to facilitate the inclusion through mobility:

A GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS includes information about the role of educators and parents, about motivational strategies, intercultural learning and of course international mobility.
A TRAINING MODULE ON INTERCULTURALITY aims to facilitate the inclusion of young people in the school community and to prepare young people with social and academic difficulties for the immersion in a foreign company during a mobility. It involves activities on cultural awareness, intercultural communication, adaptability, openness, self-efficacy and respect for others.

On our website (vet.eu-mobility.eu) you can find both resources as open educational resources.

BIBB President Esser: “Securing skilled labour will be one of the greatest challenges of this decade”

After the considerable losses last year in the wake of the Corona pandemic and its combating, the current situation on the training market only eased slightly in 2021. With a total of 473,100 newly concluded contracts for vocational training, 52,000 fewer contracts were concluded than in 2019, before the Corona pandemic.

The number of training places on offer in 2021 was 536,200, more than 40,000 fewer than in 2019, before the Corona pandemic (578,200).

The number of young people seeking dual vocational training fell again by 4,800 (-0.9%) to 540,900 compared to the previous year. The demand for training places thus reached a new low since 1992, when the data for the reunified Germany were first available.

In contrast, the number of unfilled training places continued to rise and reached a new record level. 63,200 training places remained unfilled in 2021. The number of unfilled training places had already steadily increased in previous years (2019: 53,100, 2020: 59,900).

BIBB President Friedrich Hubert Esser said the Corona pandemic also had a firm grip on the training market in 2021. Dual training continues to be a central component for qualifying the skilled workers of tomorrow. Nevertheless, the uncertainty caused by the ongoing pandemic is palpable among companies and young people. An increasing problem is a steadily decreasing demand for training places by youths and young adults. Because “where there is a lack of trainees today, there will be a lack of skilled workers tomorrow,” said Esser.

Therefore, finding and qualifying enough skilled workers will be one of the greatest challenges of the current decade. An attractive and robust vocational education and training system is needed to meet this challenge.
