ECVET, EQF, EQAVET, formal, non-formal and informal education, etc.) and implementation of new/improved occupational standard in Romania and Bulgaria
O2. Facilitating the learning and labor mobility and employability between participating countries and at European level through realization of activities envisaging cooperation and exchange of best practices (such: learners/teachers mobility’s, blog articles, signing MoM) inside and outside project period
O3. Improving quality of VET programs through a better understanding and application of mixed VET methods (e-learning, practice, mobility, work-based learning) by project trainers through exchange of best practices between partners (blog articles and staff training event) and development of innovative blended learning training course (e-learning, practice, mobility and work-based learning) having minimum 5 modules/15 units with a length of 1080 hours and corresponding 4 EQF level, between Octomber 2017 and December 2019
