Freestyle Montessori on the job learning

Within the Vocational Education and Training target population still too many employees are without a sufficient qualification level for a strong and mondial competitive EU labour market. For example, in NL 1 out of 5 VET-students leave training without a diploma. Europe is trying to recover from a severe crisis. Unemployment rates are high – in particular among young people. The crisis has emphasised the need to reform our economies and societies as stated in the Bruges Communiqué 2010. So, as European VET we need to find clever solutions to 'trigger' more trainees, and offer them fitting opportunities to succeed in education, training and finally the labour market. Yes, VET is starting to adopt competence based learning. Yes, in NL this proves to be more suitable for on-the-job learning and the labour market. But: the yet existing learning methods don't prove to be suitable for all targetgroups: like students leaving or not even entering VET, or the group of workers that don't fit anymore in the authoritative school system of learning. So teachers and internship coaches should offer learning methods suited to these targetgroups too.Meanwhile, the competence based school system has proved to offer a good environment for a more liberal and job orientated way of studying. Therefore, we will transfer and improve the innovative didactic of IT, applying the basics from 'old' Maria Montessori method (until today mentioned for 4-16 year olds) and use it with a new target group, age 16+. The consortium will focus on (future) students in traditional VET, as: -Each 16+ student more or less has his own life long learning experiences-A second chance group of learners should be challenged in a (job)surrounding that triggers to gain experience and learn-A targetgroup fearing failures and not entering VET, should be offered personal and attainable goals within the curricula.
