Description

Description (EN):

The project aims i.a. to create a starting point for the development and introduction of a work-based learning and training opportunity for young people as well as developing the basis of a legal framework for 11 introducing apprenticeship in IVET. The results will comprise i.a. a feasibility study, a master plan for the implementation of the feasibility recommendations, a training programme as well as the dissemination of information. As a follow-up to the project "Capacity Building for Teachers of VET in the Danube Region", a Romanian-German working group on vocational education was set up in order to develop and implement a joint project on the topic of modernising the vocational system in Romania.

Achievements (EN):

The EUSDR-PA 9 project „National Authorities for Apprenticeships: Development of Apprenticeship Learning in IVET in Romania (DALIVET)” served for analysis of possible ways for further development of the Romanian system of initial vocational education towards an enhanced practical orientation. The project was implemented through EU Funding from the Erasmus+ program, between 2014 and 2016 and was co-financed by the State Ministry of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The activities of this project were part of the ongoing reform of VET system in Romania aiming to maximise VET programmes with a significant component of work based learning. One of the main results consisted in the feasibility study ”Terms of Reference for introducing apprenticeship / dual system in initial VET in Romania”, that was at the base for starting the dual education in Romania through a Ministry Order in 2017. Consequently, in the school year 2017-2018, Romania had a number of 2.568 students in dual system and for the next year 2018-2019 a number of 411 economic operators offers a number of 6.400 places in 125 schools. http://www.alegetidrumul.ro/noutati/info_ipt/oferta-educationala-pentru-anul-scolar-2018-2019-invatamant-profesional-si-invatamant-dual Based on the experience of the Landesakademie für Fortbildung und Personalentwicklung an Schulen, Esslingen, NCTVETD developed another main result of the project, the acreditated training programme “Together we build bridges”, the first training programmme in Romania that jointly trains teams of teachers tutors commonly invloved in the delivery of the work-based-learning component of the VET pogrammes.

Expected Results (EN):

The project will develop the basis for a legal framework for introducing apprenticeship in IVET, and raise awareness of work-based learning. It will also improve teachers’ competences through a pilot training programme. A feasibility study including analyses of dual-systems in the EU, and a master plan with recommendations for next steps will be developed and debated in a national consultation process. The project is intended to have an important impact at the system level (creating the framework for introducing apprenticeship education in IVET in Romania, a better cooperation between training providers and companies, and an education and training offer better adapted to the real needs of the companies. National and international companies, who already expressed their interest in being involved in the training process, will benefit the project results. They will be encouraged to participate more in education and training in order to benefit from a qualified labour force. The VET system accountability will increase as well. The consultation process organised during the project implementation will ensure an important participation of the main stakeholders at national and local level. A number of 630 members of the Local Committees will be informed about the reform and they will have the possibility to express their opinion and provide feedback. Their engagement in the process from the beginning will ensure the necessary ownership and commitment for their future involvement in providing apprenticeship training.
