Network ‘Work-based Learning and Apprenticeships’
3s provided expert support to the development of the ‘Work-based Learning Toolkit’, a single platform for the promotion of identified products, approaches and tools in addition to confirming the reach, users, benefits and state-of-play of work-based learning (WBL) in Europe.
The web platform allows users to create, collaborate and share knowledge on work-based learning issues. Politicians, social partners, universities and VET providers can use the Toolkit to implement or improve WBL. The database offers tools, models, methods and examples of WBL and addresses core themes, such as government and administration systems, partnership, the implementation of WBL, information and advice, the development of WBL, developing the capabilities of teachers and trainees, evaluation and quality assurance and assessment and recognition. Moreover an extensive bibliography, a glossary of relevant specialist terms and a collection of case studies was provided.
The Toolkit presents a new method of networking with the WBL community online. Its objective is to make the outcomes of good-practice projects, Lifelong Learning and Erasmus+ projects more visible and useable. In this way it creates an interconnection between politics and the world of work and supplements the Education and Training 2020 Strategy.
3s (Stefan Humpl supported by Janine Wulz) was responsible for the evaluation and collection of suitable tools, the description of their added value for work-based learning and their presentation in the toolkit. Moreover, background texts and case studies were prepared for the NetWBL toolkit website.
