Abstract:

Over the last few years, following the objectives and recommendations of the European Union, EU member countries have begun to implement educational laws that update VET education, making it more attractive to young people and focusing it on the demands of the labour market. In this context, in Spain, the Organic Law 3/2022 of 31 March 2022 was approved, which will implement a new model of Vocational Training able to respond flexibly to people's interests, expectations and aspirations for vocational qualification throughout their lives. The new model is organized as a dual system in which companies and educational centres share the responsibility of the training of students.

In the business world and in society in general, the training that a worker acquires in the company in which he or she works has always been valued. Work experience involves training in transversal skills such as commitment and responsibility, integration in work teams, oral and written communication, honesty and others. What is proposed in the new Vocational Training System goes, however, much further. The dual nature of vocational training implies the co-responsibility of the company in the training of students throughout their professional career, both in specific competences of a given professional qualification and in skills that facilitate their adaptation to the evolution of technology (in particular to the energy, ecological and digital transition), to changes in jobs in a company or to changes in their professional career in pursuit of their own interests and expectations.

However, this poses a challenge for the companies participating in this system and the need to generate new methodologies themselves. The path is not easy and companies need tools to help and support them in welcoming the new model of VET student placements in the technology sector, in which the company has to contribute to the students' acquisition of the learning outcomes set out in their plan of studies.

In this communication we present the "TRAINING COURSE FOR COMPANIES ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE NEW MOBILITIES" developed by expert researchers and teachers in the framework of the Erasmus Plus Project "Building the vocational training of the future: companies and educational centres facing the challenge of the organization and integration of a more inclusive and digital VET". This is a course aimed at technology companies with the objective of offering recommendations and tools to adapt the reception of VET students, especially those with obstacles, to the new structure of vocational training, and to help them to generate the necessary figures for this, such as the dual tutor in the workplace.
