Do you know e-VET4AI project?

The e-VET4AI project

e-VET4AI is a project being implemented under the Erasmus+ program. The duration of the project is 24 months. The project started on November 2021 and ends on October 2023.

Aim

e-VET4AI aims to:

• support trainers in mechanical training courses in the development of new digital skills and
• create confidence in the use of new teaching methodologies.

The project’s objectives are the following:

• Increase the digital skills of trainers, using the DigCompEdu.
• Implement blended and distance training methodologies, including international cooperation.
• Identify and test digital tools to support IVET, particularly on topics related to Industry 4.0.
• Increase the digital readiness of IVET institutions on class-based teaching, especially in industrial and technical VET programs.

How the goal will be achieved?

The e-VET4AI project, to actively support VET trainers, especially those related to Industry 4.0, will create three digital tools, which are analyzed below.

Through the project, an e-VET Self-Assessment Tool (e-VET SAT) for Digital Capacity, will be created. This digital tool aims to test the level of Digital Competence of trainers and to outline the digital proficiency growth.

Furthermore, a Platform and App (e-VETrainers Platform and App) will be created. These tools, will be created to help trainers manage teaching at a distance and to compose digital lessons, aggregating in a single web space.

The third digital tool is a training model (e-VET4AI TM). This particular tool will be addressed to the mechanical training system with a focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics (DA).
