Focus of the project: The consortium led by SFC Sistemi Formativi Confindustria and joined by strategic partners, including representatives of enterprises, universities specialised in innovative pedagogy, vocational training centres engaged in the fields of Mechatronics and Green Economy, works to promote the capacity of VET trainers from Italy, Germany, Spain, Hungary, and Lithuania to use innovative pedagogical approaches. The focus of the project is on providing training opportunities for the design of Digital Work-based Learning (WBL) experiences.
