NYKØBING FALSTER, Denmark — Partners from Denmark, Finland, Germany and Belgium met for the kick-off meeting of DT4VET (Digital Transition for Vocational Education and Training), formally launching the 28-month project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
The kick-off meeting, hosted in Denmark on 25-26 March by the project’s coordinating organisation UCE/CELF (UddannelsesCenter Sydøstdanmark), brought together the full consortium: TAKK (Tampereen Aikuiskoulutussäätiö, Finland), Universitaet Rostock (Germany) and EfVET (European Forum of Technical and Vocational Education and Training, Belgium). Partners agreed on working methods, confirmed responsibilities across the project’s five work packages and set the groundwork for collaborative development.
DT4VET tackles an issue known to all VET institutions: how digital transition in VET cannot simply be reduced to the adoption of new tools. It demands a rethinking of how institutions are led, how teachers teach and how learners are getting prepared for a digital labour market. The project addresses this across three organisational levels simultaneously — management, teachers and learners — and will produce a suite of practical frameworks, assessment tools and training resources designed to be adopted and adapted by VET institutions across Europe.
The project’s outputs will include digitalisation strategy tools for VET management, a self-assessment instrument for teachers aligned with the DigCompEdu framework, micro-credential courses on educational technologies, and digital skills courses for learners across vocational disciplines. All results will be made openly available to the wider European VET community upon completion.
DT4VET runs until January 2028.
