ETTE
ETTE aims to lay the groundwork for mainstreaming VET Centres of Excellence (VCEs) both as a concept and a reality on the ground. ETTE’s partnership is committed to strengthening and extending VCEs’ networks and cooperation as a first step to consolidate and spread its model along with the VET quality and excellence principles all over Europe. By focusing on trainers and practitioners, the project directly addresses VET professionals with a view to boosting synergies and transnational partnerships among them. The wider goal is to build up a systematic and cooperative framework to promote further training, lifelong learning, upskilling and reskilling within the VET sector.
Objectives of the project
1. Promoting the continuous professional development of people working in VET through the participation to piloting training aimed to discover the VCEs and to test the efficiency and the quality of their training circuits
2. Promoting the exchange of good practices between partners to exploit synergies and foster transnational partnerships
3. Consolidating and enlarging the VCEs network including new organisations, training centres and circuits
Expected Results
- Increased awareness of the relevance of quality in VET provision
- Enhanced quality of services within the VET providers involved in the project
- Definition/establishment/creation of a framework for further training and lifelong learning among VET trainers
- Training of a first group of trainers on VET excellence
- Promote the concept and reality on the ground of VET Centres of Excellence (VCEs)
- Improve high-standard VET training circuits
- Finetune the VCEs Catalogue
- Enhanced and extended cooperation within the VCEs’ network
Project Activities
ETTE combines the trainers’ training with transnational mobility with a view to promoting a systematic approach to quality improvement. Its implementation will bring together VET trainers, experts and practitioners representing different local versions of excellence in order to provide them with the opportunity to share best practices and learn from each other while testing training circuits. Within the project’s context, four joint staff training circuits are implemented with the aim of testing the quality and effectiveness of VET excellence centres across Europe, promoting the exchange of good practices, fostering transnational networking and creating a breeding ground for improvement and further development on the way for a European label for excellence.
