TrainerGuide: A Web Tool for In-Company Trainers 2008-2010

The goal of this project is to develop a web-based tool – ‘TrainerGuide’ -, a digital handbook and toolbox for the primary target group in-company trainers. This guide will be based on the successful results of a Danish model project (Danish Ministry of Education, 2006), whose principles will be transferred to the partner countries’ needs and conditions. The partner countries in this project are countries with a dual VET system, or countries whose VET systems have needs and goals that could be supported by a TrainerGuide. The partner countries will end up with national TrainerGuide versions each in their own language. The long-term vision is to create a sustainable platform for an ongoing co-operation and co-ordination between the partner countries and other European countries. The European TrainerGuide may become a practical rotation point for this purpose.
