Increasing the attractiveness of dual education for skilled crafts and trades in the Alpine Space

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Alpine Space

Date of latest update: 2023-08-11

Description

Description (EN):

Policy makers and stakeholders at national and EU level recognise the important role of dual education in addressing difficulties in the transition phase from education to work, in improving the skills supply and in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. However, countries in Europe and the Alpine Space are in very different starting positions. Even well performing dual education systems face challenges, such as engaging employers, inclusion of marginalized groups, demographic change, and innovation and adaptation to new professional realities. One of the strengths of the Alpine economy is a strongly rooted tradition in the skilled crafts and trades sector. In order for SMEs to remain competitive in this sector, they need a skilled workforce that is able to keep up with technological, social, business and design innovations. Yet, SMEs in this field find it increasingly difficult to get new apprentices. DuALPlus will go new ways to address these challenges and to increase the attractiveness of dual education for skilled crafts and trades in the Alpine Space. The outputs and results of the project will directly benefit young individuals that decide for a career in the skilled crafts and trades sector. They will also benefit SMEs, tutors and master craftsmen that want to upgrade their teaching and technical skills. DuALPlus pursues three objectives. First, the project will improve the career guidance of youngsters and the public recognition of dual education as valuable learning path. Second, it will promote innovation and quality in dual education. And finally it will improve the framework conditions for innovation by increasing the horizontal and vertical permeability of the dual education system. The project brings together SMEs, educational institutions, business support organisations such as handicraft clusters and chambers of commerce, universities and design institutes and regional public authorities from six Alpine countries.

Achievements (EN):

Despite the high youth unemployment in some Alpine countries (up to 34,7% in Italy in 2017), the SMEs in the field of crafts and trade find it increasingly difficult to hire new apprentices. However, dual education has the potential to address difficulties in the transition phase from education to work, to improve the skills supply and to foster entrepreneurship and innovation. DuALPlus developed innovative ways to increase the appeal of dual education for crafts and trade. For instance, a multilingual career guidance toolbox supports organisations, coaches and trainers who offer career guidance for young people.

Expected Results (EN): Level of maturity of framework conditions for innovation for generating innovation processes among business, academia and administration

Expected Outputs (EN):

R1: The attractiveness of the dual education system for skilled crafts and trades in the Alpine Space is increased. This is achieved through improving the career guidance of youngsters in their orientation phases and by increasing the public recognition of dual education. R2: The innovation capacity, quality and inclusiveness of the dual education system for skilled crafts and trades in the Alpine Space is increased. This is achieved through new and improved trainings and systematic evaluations that are based on the needs of SMEs and tutors. R3: The dual education system in the Alps is made more effective by increasing the horizontal and vertical permeability of the system through connecting business, administration and academia.
