TeBeVat
New technology, new processes, new requirements: in many sectors, employees are confronted with changed conditions in their professional environment shortly after their training. What has been learned quickly becomes obsolete, new knowledge changes the workplace almost daily. Continuous further training is therefore essential for many employees in order to keep up with developments in the industry. A large part of this training is usually provided in an informal setting: through ordinary activities at work, in leisure time or with the family, many employees acquire skills that help them to cope with these changes.
The TeBeVAT project aims to provide employees in the event technology sector, which is particularly affected by the above-mentioned changes, with processes that enable employees to identify, validate and certify the knowledge they have gained through their work and thus provide a companion for lifelong learning. This is intended to make it easier for skilled workers – for example, those without formal training or with aspirations of moving to another European country – to participate actively in the labour market and to ensure that their skills are comparable with those of other workers.
Building on the predecessor projects TeBeVAT 1 and 2 and the TeBeVAT process developed within this framework, partners from industry and research from Germany (VPLT – Verband für Medien- und Veranstaltungstechnik), Austria (sv wtu), the Netherlands (OSAT), Belgium (STEPP) and Italy (Consulenza Direzionale di Paolo Zaramella) have joined forces as consortium leaders under the leadership of BF/M-Bayreuth to complete these processes.
