According to the European Commission (Supporting the Teaching Professions for Better Learning Outcomes, 20.11.2012), the role of teachers and trainers is crucial in the modernization of VET with special focus on their professional development and status in society. The future dominated by change presents news challenges for both teachers and trainers in VET, involving new pedagogical, curriculum design, quality assurance, management and administrative tasks. At the verge of the 21st century, a new trainer is born: able to use user-friendly andragogical methodologies as well as be able to mediate “knowledge zapping” and “knowledge surfing” very applied to new jobs, new market needs and new European citizens (with all 8 key skills) and continuous qualification for lifelong learning. Based on it, was designed the XXI Trainer project.The BOND project consortium includes 7 VET partners: 2 from different Spain regions (Cataluña and Castilla y León), Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Ireland and Turkey. All partners have specific expertise in key project areas, access to VET trainers and teachers and contacts with national and European VET networks, all of whom have expressed interest in following and helping to dissemination of the project.
