The 21st century labour market is in a permanent process of change. Digitalisation, globalisation and ecological transformation have their impact on new jobs. Labour market asks for a more flexible worker, with skills focused on change, feedback and adaptation. Thus, the development of future-proof skills becomes imperative. 21st Century Skills Frameworks form the basic skills package to meet the challenges of the working world, but they need ongoing updates based on new needs and different levels.
The aim of 21st Century Coaching Project is to prepare company coaches for their changed role as trainers of work-based VET student learning. In doing so, the project will describe criteria for companies that are prepared for work-based learning, and the competences leading to an updated job profile for company coaches; It will develop methods and training material for coaches and it will develop the “Personal Action Plan” where coaches will be able make their own skills analysis and create personalised learning program. Finally, a web-app will be created that will hold the agreements between schools and companies and will support the monitoring of students skill development for coaches.
The six partners that participate in this Project are:
The Olustvere School of Service and Rural Economics of Estonia, the American Farm School Post Secondary Educational and Training Association and the University of West Attica in Greece, the Brandenburgische Technische Universitat Cottbus-Senftenberg in Germany, the Universidad De Valladolid in Spain and BLANKCON in the Netherlands leading with M-Around Tanacsado es Szolgaltato Korlatolt Felelossegu Társaság in Hungary.
