Designing and developing new VET curricula to address skills gaps in the aeronautics industry

Abstract

The AIRVET project: “Aeronautic Industry Skills Resolution for a more Efficient VET Offer” is carried out by the AIRVET Alliance, which brings together bodies with Aeronautics specific expertise, Vocational Education Training (VET) providers and bodies involved in education and training systems from six European Countries: Portugal, France, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK. They share the goal of improving the adequacy and attractiveness of VET training offer addressed to this sector. AIRVET’s main aim is to design, develop, evaluate and disseminate adapted/new curricula and VET courses for the aeronautics sector, to help overcome gaps of qualified personnel in the aeronautics industry. The target users of the project’s results are, therefore: workers and future workers of the aeronautics industry (AI), bodies involved in education and training systems, schools and students (potential AI workers), VET providers and trainers, as well companies (SMEs and large companies) connected to the aeronautics industry.
