In the period 29-30 November 2021 the partners from the Skills Act 4 VET consortium held their third transnational meeting - this time in the capital of Greece. The hosts for this event were the partners from the Militos Consulting S.A. in Athens. 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 had an overview of the achieved results and discussed finalization activities. The agenda for the meeting covered important topics, such as the completion of the outputs, budget and quality control, dissemination activities and next steps. The guest partners also had the pleasure of experiencing traditional Greek cuisine and culture during their social lunch and dinner in the heart of Athens.
On the second day of the meeting in Athens the consortium partners had the pleasure of meeting Andreas Stefanidis, the director of the Academy of Entrepreneurship, who collaborates with many VET schools and organizations.
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.
