Pathways to Inclusive Vocational Education and Training

Erasmus+ Partnership 2024-2027 on inclusive school-to-work transitions.

We cooperate with good practice projects from Bratislava, Marseille, Budapest and Malta.

Together we will create eBooks on our best practices, a roadmap for inclusive VET transition and a multimedia storytelling training curriculum for inclusive VET. We will include trainees with intelectual disabilities in our partner meetings.

 

Insufficient inclusive structures in VET hinder disabled trainees' access to vocational education. The partnership “It is a Match!” promotes inclusion through extracurricular VET for youth with intellectual disabilities. Goals include addressing discriminatory school-to-VET transitions, showcasing successful practices, empowering role models, providing VET- companies with a best practice roadmap, implementing a multimedia storytelling curriculum and creating a supportive stakeholder network.
