Within the framework of the “Modernizing Vocational Education and Training in Agriculture in Armenia” (MAVETA) project, a two-day workshop on “Structure processes and implement procedures in dual vocational education and training” was held in Yerevan on December 5-6.
The workshop was attended by DUAL-responsible teachers from MAVETA partner colleges. It was conducted by HAFL expert Johannes Brunner.
The two-day workshop aimed to transfer fundamental skills to the instructors coordinating the students’ practical work in the company, including selecting appropriate companies, organizing legal and contractual relationships, performing assignments in the workplace, and providing targeted support for the learning process.
The course provided the opportunity for college DUAL- responsible teachers to develop their skills in conflict resolution and guiding students through the DUAL education process, as well as in effectively assessing the skills and employability acquired by students.
The MAVETA project is funded by a broad coalition of international and local organizations led by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), including the Austrian Development Agency, the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Government of Armenia, the Swiss Church Aid (HEKS/EPER) NGO, Izmirlian Foundation, the Strategic Development Agency (SDA) NGO and Vanand Agro CJSC.
The project’s implementing partners are the GIZ and HEKS/EPER with the involvement of SDA and the School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences at the Bern University of Applied Sciences (HAFL).
