The TRANStoWORK Project aims at enhancing, reinforcing and structuring work-based learning (WBL) and the transition to work, in order to promote employment of young people attending in professional training courses (level EQF 4-5-6). The project focuses on the production sectors which show a lack of skills and low propensity to change. To reach the project goals, social partners - trade unions and employers' associations - were encouraged to collaborate with the vocational and educational training system (VET). The project aimed at structuring a WBL model has been developed and tested in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry.The specific objectives are:- defining a WBL model that facilitates the matching between job supply and demand in the construction sector and that encourages companies to hire young people with stable and quality job positions;- introducing elements of technological and organizational innovation in companies thanks to the contribution of trainees who have acquired ICT skills and knowledge about digitalization of the construction site, new materials and production techniques; - promoting the training of tutors, coordinators and trainers involved in the WBL process;- developing innovative tools to support the WBL experience that allow companies in the construction supply chain to understand the high added value provided by the WBL training methodology, trying to overcome the barriers to conceiving the workplace as an environment of privileged learning;- enhancing bilateralism (co-decisions between business associations and trade unions) for the promotion of vocational training integrated with Work Based Learning.The main actions undertaken to achieve the described results were:-creation of discussion groups between the various relevant stakeholders aimed at identifying the structural needs of the sector and the short-term needs of the market;-creation of a shared WBL Model starting from the diversity of local experiences and contexts;-design and testing of a web-based APP allowing a constant interaction among the subjects involved in the learning path on the job;-definition and testing of a Toolkit for the training of trainers for an effective use and diffusion of the WBL model both in VET System and in companies;-development of assessment tools for the WBL process;-development of guidelines for the recognition of new skills, updated qualifications and formulation of suggestions aimed at improving the training offer in the construction industry.The direct beneficiaries of the project are young people attending professional qualification courses in the construction sector for the acquisition of professional qualifications at EQF 4-5-6 level; VET trainers, company trainers and tutors. The indirect beneficiaries of the project are trade unions and business associations, vocational education and training institutions.The main results achieved are:- Adoption of a model of the WBL shared with the Partners;- Technological and cultural growth of the companies;- Creation of a model for evaluating WBL experiences;- Identification of proposals to update the qualifications, adapting them to the changes taking place in AEC Industry.The role of VET is an important role in relation to the revitalization of the construction industry, in orientating young people towards qualified professions. Educational curricula must be reorganized assigning a strategic role to the WBL; work-based learning must become the paradigm of the provided training involving the social partners and employers’ organizations in the decisions regarding the training quality, the effectiveness check of the WBL experience and the impact on the Labour Market.All the results and tools created by the project are public and therefore free to use, primarily the Web APP which was tested in the experimentation phase. The commitment shown by local and national institutions and by the social partners constantly involved in the activities reinforces the sustainability of the results themselves as well as their benefit in the medium-long term. However, to make learning in WBL's experiences in the construction sector more effective it will be necessary to proceed further with the development of individual digital skills.The partnership is made up of 6 institutions from 4 different EU countries; they represent: training sector, economic-entrepreneurial system and of the social partners:- I.I.P.L.E. - Institute for Professional Education of Construction Workers in Bologna (Italy)- Fundacion Laboral de la Construcciòn (Spain) Non-profit foundation for the enhancement and development of the construction sector- VIESOJI ISTAIGA VILNIAUS STATYBININKU RENGIMO CENTRAS - Vilnius National Building Training Center (Lithuania)- CDS, Documentation and Research Center (Italy)- Economic and Social Research Institute (IRES) of Emilia Romagna (Italy)- CLUJ CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (Romania)
