Discover how VET, dual education and work-based learning can revolutionize the way students are prepared for the workforce. A dual education system merges on-the-job training with classroom instruction, blending apprenticeships in companies with academic learning in schools. Meanwhile, work-based learning provides students with hands-on experiences to develop their employability and technical skills.💼


Through visits to Italian schools and companies, participants will explore successful examples of dual education in action

Methodology & assessment

We tailor the working methods based upon participants’ needs, attitudes and professional profiles in order to ensure high productivity, effectiveness and transferability into practice.
The standard methodology is highly practical and participative with hands-on approach that comprises real-job examples, case studies examination and simulations. We embrace collaborative working methods that foster mutual learning and cooperation among participants. Our focus is on transferring knowledge and skills which are applicable to real contexts and/or in the classroom. The pedagogical methods that we use are based upon experiential learning, group and peer activities, learning-by-doing and best practices’ exchange.
We organize optional social, networking and cultural activities in order to give participants the opportunity to know the venue’s culture as well as to exchange best-practice and establish professional links.
