Due to growing need for health care professionals and the ageing of the population in Europe, new Europe-wide training programs are needed. The main goal of the project is to enable more people to acquire professional vocational health care education to answer to needs of tomorrow. To achieve this aim, the Finnish apprenticeship training program for care workers is transferred, adapted, tested and developed in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The existing curriculum is developed to match the current need for developing a competence-based curriculum. “Apprenticeship training is an optional way of achieving vocational qualification, a further vocational qualification or a specialist qualification, and provides the trainee with the same access to further training as schools and institutions do. There are also, in some cases, tailor-made training programs for a specific job, which does not aim at any official qualification. Apprenticeship training primarily consists of on-the-job training. The apprentices learn through work, spending approximately 70-80 % of their training time in the workplace. Theoretical training is provided in vocational institutions. If for some reason theoretical training cannot be provided in an institution, the employer at the work place may arrange it elsewhere, for example. In practice, theoretical training is usually given in the form of course periods lasting from one day to a few weeks. Duration is very flexible depending on the apprentice’s prior education and work experience. Apprenticeship training, which aims at a vocational qualification, takes from two to three years. If necessary, the duration of the training may be longer.” (ref. http://www.oppisopimus.edu.hel.fi/)The partners in the project are mainly vocational health care schools/colleges and the institutions. The schools and colleges have vast experience in education care workers for the institutions.
