An approach to improve entrepreneurial skills in VET

The development of VET – entrepreneurial path is a challenge many of the organization involved in the EEC project are facing in the last years. The approach require an innovative didactical point of view related with the specific skills of the participant to VET courses.

Some interesting and effective experiment has been held in Italy in the last three month. The idea has been to apply PPBL methodological approach and techniques during the VET courses. The approach, studied by CEDIT, has been experimented with two different classes in two different courses. The first one was a course to qualify adult unemployed people as Logistic Technician in the north west of Tuscany.

During the course a specific module of PPBL has been presented to stimulate the students define their professional path and analyze their skills portfolio. The second one was a course for Hydro Technician, were CEDIT presented a specific module to help them verify and define the chance to start their own business at the end of the training course. The duration in this case have been of 20 hours in classroom together with a 5 hours personal counseling in defining the possible business plan.

In both cases the results demonstrated that working on methodological and didactical aspects the PPBL approach could be suitable also for people involved in the VET courses. The teachers of CEDIT are working not only on EEC materials, but also on literature existing tools to better define approaches and contents of possible interventions to put directly in different VET courses where the improving of entrepreneurial skills is suitable.
