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 the rapid transformation of education towards remote and hybrid learning delivered 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:

  • 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
  • The 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 personnel management
  • The competence of those managing remote education is insufficient.

Project activities


  1. Conduct an analysis of the technological potential of the environment and the applicant, in the context of designing tools for digital management and mapping key processes and ways to implement them in educational institutions.
  2. Preparation of 4 e-learning courses for digital HRM in VET institutions, compliant with the EQF gradation system - a total of 32h in Polish and English.
  3. Preparation of an IT program for remote HRM in VET institutions, as a practical implementation of the HRM approach included in e-learning, for use in VET institutions.
  4. Test implementation of tools in 5 VET institutions in Poland and testing of e-learning by 120 people from VET education.

Collaboration


For the project, we are working with Easy Learning Solutions, a Norwegian company. It was established in 2005 and offers project consulting services related to the development and implementation of ICT-based learning methods. The staff has a wide network of contacts with industry in Europe and extensive experience in developing international projects related to vocational training.

Two reports have been made:

1.Analytical report on mapping key processes in VET institutions with recommendations

2.Technology environment survey report 1, 2

Distance-learning Tools

  1. Creation of competency profiles in accordance with the EQF and EQVET
  2. Building tools to assess competencies and personnel
  3. Building tools for competency development
  4. Management of goals and objectives, according to the EQF in VET education

A total of 32 hours of e-learning were prepared, 8 for each issue - a training program with tools for distance-learning.

Software for remote HRM in VET institutions
