Our primary objectives include identifying the essential transversal skills required by VET teachers, trainers, and staff, as well as assessing the transversal skills of European VET teachers. By aligning educators' skills with the contemporary demands of VET education, our aim is to enhance the overall attractiveness of VET. We believe in empowering VET educators through targeted continuous professional development.
About VETCompass
At VETCompass, we are dedicated to revolutionizing Vocational Education and Training (VET) by placing a spotlight on the pivotal transversal skills of VET teachers.
Our project stems from a commitment to elevate the quality and attractiveness of VET through a strategic approach. Our first objective is to meticulously identify the indispensable transversal skills demanded of VET teachers, trainers, and staff. We then embark on the assessment of European VET teachers’ transversal skills, ensuring that our efforts align with the contemporary imperatives of the VET education landscape.
Our philosophy revolves around empowering VET educators through targeted continuous professional development, recognizing that the evolving demands of the field necessitate a dynamic and adaptable skill set. To realize our objectives, VETCompass is actively developing a robust skill assessment framework and an engaging game-based assessment tool. The next steps involve piloting these assessments with European VET teachers, leading us to compile a toolbox library and a roadmap for the continuous professional development of VET teacher transversal skills.
Join us on this transformative journey as we contribute to shaping the future of VET education. VETCompass is not just a project; it’s a commitment to fostering a community of skilled and forward-thinking educators dedicated to the success of vocational education.
What are transversal skills?
Transversal skills, particularly in the context of Vocational Education and Training (VET), refer to a set of essential, cross-cutting abilities that go beyond specific technical or job-related knowledge. These skills are versatile and applicable across various professions and situations, playing a crucial role in fostering holistic competence among VET teachers and professionals. Transversal skills typically include attributes such as problem-solving, communication, teamwork, adaptability, critical thinking, and a capacity for continuous learning. In the VET sector, cultivating these skills is vital to prepare individuals not only for the technical aspects of their chosen field but also for the broader challenges and demands of the dynamic and evolving work environment.
