Tackling Drop Outs Through Systematic Students screening
Project Number: 2022-1-RO01-KA220-VET-000086834
Funding Scheme: ERASMUS+ KA220-VET – Cooperation partnerships in vocational education and training
TeSTED project focuses on changing how VET is practiced, making it more relevant to the current and future needs of the economy and society. The project promotes innovation through the development and implementation of new monitoring and communicating approaches through a threefold solution. We plan to create an “early detection” Assessment psychometric tool along with a detailed handbook that will help the VET providers to measure and understand the profile of each student and provide data to create a unique path for each one of them by seeing them as individuals with unique capabilities and limitations.
Objectives:
The TeSTED project aims are:
P.O.1. Foster innovation through a powerful mechanism in the VET environment for the early detection and prevention of dropouts due to socio-economic difficulties;
P.O.2. Capacity building of the VET trainers and staff on VET dropout and its social and labor market implications;
P.O.3. Transform the VET providers into a safety net for at-risk learners by offering consultation, and alternative pathways and securing their retention in, and graduation from, education and training.
P.O.4. Raise awareness about the dropout in VET and its social and labor market implications.
Expected Results:
- Baseline study for early detection of probable dropouts
- Creation of an assessment psychometric tool for the early detection of probable dropouts
- VET trainers/ staff upskilling package
- Intervention mechanism, in the form of an office, for tackling dropouts in the VET environment
- 30 persons will test the LMS platform
- Approximately 30 Stakeholders will be informed about the TeSTED project in each partner country
