Training new skills for the new jobs in nanotechnologies
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010,

The NewJob project is intended to support the development of sectoral qualifications system and frameworks by definition of qualifications of engineers and technicians in nanotechnologies in terms of learning outcomes to promote transparency and recognition of vocational education and training (VET) . The project brings together VET providers, higher education (HE) institutions, SMEs, professional organisations to assess future skills needs and promote business input into course design, as stated in the "New Skills for New Jobs" initiative and to develop special courses for upgrading knowledge in the sector of nanoelectronics technologies. Through job analysis the necessary knowledge, skills and competences in nanotechnology engineering will be defined. For the learning outcomes defined minimum six courses for the new skills in nanotechnology training will be developed. Each course will be designed by the best laboratory/department in the field which dispose with the necessary infrastructure and facilities for practical work. There will be e-learning courses and m-learning performance support modules. Credits for each learning outcome unit will be determined and specific tests for measuring knowledge and skills will be designed and tested for recognition of formal and non-formal learning. Tests of the ECVET application to VET qualifications and recommendations how to enhance permeability and progression between VET and practice-oriented HE will be done.The main expected impact on the target users is: the opportunity to have certified training of new skills for the new jobs in nanotechnologies; recognition of learning outcomes achieved in formal and, where appropriate, non-formal and informal contexts; on the VET system: contribution to the ECVET creation, promotion the progression from VET to HE.
