IMPROVET

ImproVET is a project within the framework of the Erasmus+ program of the European Union. The project aims at defining and validating a model suitable for local agents in order to provide rapid response for the adaptation of Vocational Education and Training (VET) to labour market needs. Therefore, the partnership will develop four "How to Guides" on the following topics: Building a local partnership; Monitoring labour market needs; Programming VET and Assessing the impact. The partnership consists of organizations from Spain, Italy, Germany and Turkey.

The project produced an Intervention Model which is aimed at being a tool to be used by local agents and local partnerships involved in VET in order to ensure a rapid and proactive response to changes in labour market needs by effectively prevent or solve mismatches between those needs and VET provided by agents in the territory. The Model is intended to guide local actors in their way for designing, implementing and assessing a local action plan for the continuous monitoring of labour market needs and the adaptation of VET offer. The Modelis structured in 4 parts:

-  “How to” Guides on:

a) How to build a Local Partnership for the continuous adaptation of VET

b) How to monitor labour market needs and its tendency to proactively adapt the VET offer.

c) How to programme proactive VET locally.

d) How to assess the local impact of VET.
