Purpose of the project
The aim of the project "Development of an educational program with tools for digital HRM in VET" was to improve the quality of VET institutions by improving the quality of management and competence of managers and providing tools for remote management of educational systems and resources, including competence development in accordance with EQVET requirements.
The project responds to the needs arising from the pandemic and rapid transformation of education towards remote and hybrid learning implemented by distributed teams of educators. Research indicates that some of the solutions forced by the pandemic will remain in education - particularly hybrid and remote education. This forces the inclusion of digital solutions for task, quality and personnel management.
The results of studies and reports on the market and the education sector lead to the following conclusions:
- the VET sector needs practical guidance and tools to manage human resources in distributed and hybrid teams
- in the VET education sector, it is necessary to implement digital solutions and distance learning education to quickly reorganize the business model and
ways of operating - implementation of a pro-quality culture in the VET education sector requires the provision of digital tools to facilitate the stimulation of learning outcomes orientation and quality of personnel management
- the competence of remote education managers is insufficient.
We cordially invite you to complete a survey on the way work is organized in companies and educational institutions.
The results of the survey will enable us to prepare a training program designed for educational institutions, focused on developing professional human resource management.
