For this purpose, development of a platform that will allow interaction between labour market and vocational training institutions; identification of technical, social, and conceptual skills to support the employability of CNC machine operators through this platform; development of ECVET training curriculum and preparation of training contents in accordance with the defined skills are the main project activities planned.
Within the scope of the project, a focus group meeting was held with the participation of Machine Technology teachers and students from Kartal/Yakacık Vocational and Technical Highschool in order to assess the learning outcomes defined on the basis of the Skills Map consisting of technical, personal and conceptual skills defined for CNC machine operators on 14th January 2021. At the focus group meeting, where the Skills Map and learning outcomes were analyzed, we had the opportunity to get feedback from the field teachers who are familiar with both vocational education institutions and the expectations and work conditions of companies about the current situation and outputs developed within the project and suggestions for a higher quality vocational education.
In the next phase of the project, it is planned to upload the learning outcomes that will be updated in line with the feedback and suggestions from the sector and vocational education institutions after the focus group meetings held in all partner countries onto the ECVET Skills Value Platform and vote on the skills by the sector. For this purpose, ECVET Skills Value Info Days will be organized.
