Project Ref. No. 2020-1-BG01-KA226-VET-095185
Funded by: The Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
Implementation period: 1 March 2021 – 31 October 2023
Project website: https://vet-at-home.eu/
VET@HOME is designed to create and pilot a standard unit-based syllabus model for virtual practical training courses (training practice) within the VET for the profession “Cook”. It allows the sustaining of vocational training in extreme circumstances as the one caused by the pandemic. The project introduces a new approach to the delivery of practical training courses leading to qualifications that are adapted for distance and blended-mode delivery, usage of alternative learning facilities and the new operational circumstances of the food-and-beverage sector across the EU. The approach is also applicable for disadvantaged learners who have difficulties to be present physically in the training premises on daily basis.
