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).
The project’s team
The partners who are implementing e-VET4AI, are 7 and are coming from Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece and Belgium. And here they are:
- ITKAM, Italienische Handelskammer Fur Deutschland, from Germany.
- Confindustria Veneto SIAV S.p.A., from Italy.
- Asociacion De Centros De Formacion Tecnico Profesional De Inciativa Social De Euskadi Hetel Heziketa Teknikoko Elkartea De Durango (Bizkaia), from Spain.

The organisations’ representatives, since the beginning of the project’s implementation, are meeting online at least once per month. During these e-meetings, the framework for the implementation of the project has been set and agreed. Such as the timetable and each partner’s responsibilities.
The Target groups are
- Trainers and Τeachers’ assistants.
- VET Institutions and Educational providers in VET.
- VET trainees (both students and workers).
- Metal mechanical companies.
- Εngineering companies.
- Stakeholders who play a role in educating VET students and in Εngineering companies.
