The Project

About Prosilient VET project

The Prosilient VET project is part of a long-term effort between organizations from Romania, Bulgaria, Austria and Italy to support the professional development of VET trainers and experts. In our consortium we have three vocational training centers (Romania, Austria and Italy) and one partner expert in vocational training (Bulgaria).

With the outbreak of COVID-19 and the systemic transformations triggered by the pandemic in economies across Europe, the VET sector – and more specifically CVET – becomes the focus of attention of policy makers and practitioners. The main target group of our efforts are our CVET trainers.

The influence of these factors on them can be summarized as an increasing risk of occupational burnout, which has several consequences, such as absenteeism from work, abandonment of the profession, illness, emotional exhaustion and anxiety . The creation of new challenges and roles for CVET teachers and trainers puts pressure on their well-being, which is critical as an outcome itself and for other vital outcomes, such as learning and student well-being.

Online VET prosilience Toolbox for CVET trainers

The toolbox will be available as an interactive resource on the website and as a downloadable pdf file.

CVET trainers will be trained in using the toolbox and promote it across CVET communities in partners’ countries.

 Prosilient VET piloting activities

CVET trainers will conduct online, offline or blended piloting activities with learners from each country using the new competences acquired.

Dissemination activities

The involvement of CVET trainers and other relevant stakeholders from all partner countries and beyond through a multiplier event, online publications, thematic presentations at external events, offline and online promotional activities.

Transnational meetings & events

During the project’s lifetime, transnational partner meetings and a multiplier event are planned to be realized.
