Implementation of instruments for a systematic exchange of experience regarding dual vocational training structures

Description:

This project serves, on the one hand, to work out proposals for the changes that will be necessary in the Slovak Republic in order to allow a greater dualisation of vocational training. One basis for working out these proposals is a SWOT analysis carried out for the various vocational training systems of the project partners.

An analysis of the requirements of companies in the Slovak Republic is intended to ensure an adjustment to the requirements of the job market and to allow a prioritisation of the occupations for introduction.

A virtual Danube Academy is designed to support the introduction of new vocational training structures, e.g. by means of communications structures, qualification offers, etc. The conception and establishment of the Academy are core elements of the project. Companies and the general public will be informed of the chances and opportunities offered by dual vocational training, among other things by means of a website.

Completion of the draft law
Development of the concept of the Danube Academy (goals, tasks, set-up, structures)
