IRELAND
Skills 4 Work project
skills4workproject.eu
The Skills 4 Work project is funded by the Irish National Agency (Léargas) under the Erasmus+
Programme.
The project aim is to improve work experience pathways for VET workers by creating and validating
a Work Based Learning implementation model engaging VET organisations and business. The
emphasis is on learning from each other’s experience and engaging in a real dialogue with
employers by developing the model in close collaboration with local enterprises. Through practical
implementation of different work-based learning approaches and feedback from enterprises, the
project has developed hands-on implementation guidelines that will significantly improve the
quality of work experience for both the VET workers and enterprises in partner countries. The
project benefited VET teachers by creating Continuing Professional Development materials and
transnational transfer of good practices through joint peer learning events as part of the CPD.
Project objectives:
- to learn about existing work experience programmes in partner countries through practical
study visits organised for VET teachers as part of the CPD strategy
- to set up a VET & Employers Working Groups in each partner country to collaborate on
developing and validating a WBL implementation model and engaging in a dialogue on
meaningful work experience practices
- to develop WBL implementation guidelines for VET
- to develop CPD materials for VET teachers
- to extend employer participation in work-based learning practices across partner countries

The following three project outcomes have been developed:
1. WBL online implementation guidelines for VET
2. CPD materials for VET teachers
3. VET – Business Partnerships
