Read more Description (EN): The needs for hospitality and catering skills as well as for food safety knowledge reflect the economic character of Ventspils region, whereas the need for beauty therapy skills is evidenced by popularity of the subject in Panevėžys region vocational schools. Adults in both regions also look for soft employability skills.
The project aims at helping adult employees to adapt to rapidly changing technology environments and to embrace social skills. Due to challenges faced by the labour markets and regional economies, there is a need for a well-balanced marketing mix of the educational programmes, and some radical changes at programme and institutional levels, while looking for some very strong differentiating factors. While tackling inefficiency of labour market of the Programme area, improvement of the education system through introduction of systemic approach to the solution, while involving relevant stakeholders and applying innovative technologically and methodologically sound teaching and learning methods, could lead to impactful results, especially from the perspective of people striving to become the entrepreneurs or adjusting to rapidly changing demands for work quality.
The objective of the project is to enhance employability and encourage students to gain skills to help them with career progression, while providing recognition for learners’ abilities and evidence of the skills required for success in the workplace. It is intended to carry out analysis of the current programs that are used to address targeted skills, and teaching processes that will lead to preparation of gap analysis and roadmap for introduction or update of the vocational programmes.
The project will make an analysis of the current programmes of Ventspils Vocational College and Panevezys Centre of Vocational Education, based on which a roadmap for programme development and deployment will be prepared. Latter four vocational training programmes will be updated and developed based on internationally recognised standards and using the best global practices. Programme “Work Skills” includes self-management Skills, Self-assessment, Working in a Team, Giving and Receiving Feedback, Personal Skills for Leadership, Presentations for Work, Negotiation Skills and Persuasion in the Workplace, Critical Thinking, Solving Work-related Problems, Project Management Skills, Skills for Starting a Business (130 learning hours). Programme “Hospitality and Catering Principles” (Food and Beverage Service) includes principles of customer service in hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism, food safety in catering, service of food at table, and service of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. In these qualifications learners will develop the underpinning skills, knowledge and understanding required to work in the hospitality industry (160 learning hours). Programme “Practical Food Safety in Catering” covers the basic understanding, knowledge and skills required to operate safely within food handling situations in the catering and hospitality industry (40 learning hours). Programme “Beauty Therapy“ includes waxing techniques, facial techniques, facial skincare, make-up and body art application, and giving manicure, pedicure, eyelash and brow treatments (263 learning hours).The programmes will be piloted, while involving at least 100 persons (60 from Latvia and 40 from Lithuania).
As a result of the project, two schools in Programme regions will be capable of delivering high quality training programmes in compliance with international standards.
Read more Achievements (EN): Projects main output was to involve 100 adults in joint local employment initiatives and joint training. 60 students had to be trained in Ventspils Vocational College (LP) and 40 in Panevezys Centre of Vocational Education (PP2). Also at least 8 teachers/lectures had to be prepared to deliver the lectures. Vocational programme which was implemented into both project partner education institutions had to be developed and implemented based on internationally recognised standards and using best global practices.
Improvement of teachers’ competencies:
BTEC “Work skills” programme that was introduced in both partner education institutions consisted of 6 modules, each modules lenght – 30h. Both partners were able to choose how to develop their own programme depending on their expert suggestions and regional economical needs but the practices and basic principles (evidence registration, the % of theory and practice) had to be the same. To reach common understanding of how to develop and implement the programme Pearson staff (BTEC experts) flew to Latvia during the summer of 2019 for 2 two day trainings to train LP and PP2 teachers and administration. Certificates were issued to all 22 attendees that will be able to use this knowledge and methodolical tools not only in this projects’ framework but also in their day-to-day work in other programs and subjects that will give project result longlife.
Enhancement of employability and labour mobility:
The BTEC Work Skills program was developed using best global practices. The Work Skills program includes the development of competencies related to skills such as self-assessment, teamwork, leadership skills, self-presentation and communication skills, critical thinking, work-related problem solving, project management skills and business start-up skills that will allow our students to be more skilled and in demand in both the local and European labor markets. The program was piloted in September 2020 in Latvia (Ventspils) and and in February 2021 in Lithuania (Panevėžys). In total 100 students conducted training in this program, increased their competenes and obtained certificates that are recognised in more than 70 countries around the world.
Strengthening the material and technical base in the field of digital technologies:
To ensure Work skills programme implementation project partners each bought equipment (20 tablets) that was used for education purposes and distances learning while Covid-19 restrictions did not allow face-to-face studies. This have also complemented institution’s material and technical equipment base and will allow students to learn with more modern technologies.
Methodological materials and manuals:
Programme partners developed several handbooks and materials that were based on BTEC standards but adjusted to Work skills program that was implemented in each institution. Some of these handbooks are very specific and aimed for particual education institution but one of them “BTEC Centre handbook” can be used as information source for other interested groups who would like to develop and implement similar program in their institutions.
Project reach:
During project implementation project partners used their own social media platforms and web pages to inform general audiences and also target groups about the program and project aims, project progress and results. Two weeks before the end of the project an international conference was organized and gathered around 70 participants from various European countries to hand-over experience to other education institutions, to inform stakeholders about achieved results and just to celebrate successful project implementation.
