The project aims and objectives are:
– To improve the digital media literacy of VET teachers, pedagogical consultants in VET schools and career consultants and increase their capacity to exploit the full potential of the new technologies;
– To provide online VET resources including a Learning management system (LMS) with Training Modules, dedicated to the important topics, digital educational videos and other tools that could be used in formal/informal education;
