Project Summary

Context and background:
Digitization develops a new cultural technique – the competent contact with digital media – which complements and changes traditional cultural skills reading, writing and calculation. Now this statement of the past has become a reality. Now we live in the age of the digitalisation. The whole economy has been captured by new technologies – the concept Industry 4.0 describes this development. This development must not only be considered by the professional education – VET must keep pace with the rapid advancements in the working world.

Objectives:
The project focuses on the qualification of educational staff in the professional education (school and company) as well as in the adult education.
We want
– educational staff to have a great possibility of a technical-educational further-qualification.
– sharpen the perception of changes in the working world and create a consciousness for future demands based on new technologies.
– offer an insight into a great variety of different technologies, educational attempts and reflecting possibilities on international level.
– to enable the involved facilities to develop a tailor-made training- and infrastructure-concept that takes the needs of the companies and technological developments into account.

Participants:
– Representative of the subordinated authority of the Bavarian Ministry of Education(with a network to political stakeholders and to all Bavarian vocational schools and relevant research groups)
– Educational staff of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Munich (IHK München) and the member companies (e.g., Audi, BMW, Siemens, Infinion)
– ICT teachers of a professional school with strong links to universities, teacher-training and a unique concept to the experimental learning
– ICT teachers of a professional school who covers the areas from professional training (EQR 4) up to the professional further qualification (EQR 6), different technical occupational fields (ICT, electronics, mechatronik, automotoive technology)
– Teachers of a professional school with a wide range of different occupations (technology, economy, service, Socially) which are considerably influenced by digitalization
– Educational staff from the area of the adult education which are responsible for the qualification of persons of the working world, which must be prepared for changes in the digitalized professional einvironment; link to the ministry of labour
