“Small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) have limited allocation of time and resources for managing apprenticeships. Therefore, they need tools which are easy to use, understandable and efficient. Supporting tools like the AppT you created are great help for all type of enterprises especially SMES, as they comply with those requirements to ensure a proper management of apprenticeships and fluid communication between all stakeholders involved.”

Students Representative
“For students is very important to receive a continuous feedback of their work, specially from their mentors to ensure both parties have a common understanding of the progress made during the apprenticeship experience. The AppT tool can play a relevant role to keep a fluid dialogue among the student, her teacher and mentor ensuring everyone is aware of the current status of the work and its progress. Moreover, the tool features related to the certification of skills and competences achieved during the apprenticeship will also contribute to their recognition at European level as well as will enhance students chances accessing better job opportunities.”

“One of the main challenges of Vocational education is the organization of students’ practical work. There is a constant need for its improvement to gain in quality but also in its attractiveness, both for the economy and for students. This project, which was realized within the Erasmus program, is making its contribution to the application of modern IT solutions and approach to contribute to an important overall goal, which is the improvement of Vocational education. Given the openness of the Erasmus program, the results of this project can be useful to all others HEIs and other stakeholders in the sector who want to implement the experiences and achievements that have been achieved. Connecting the economy, students and Vocational education in a modern way is an opportunity not to be missed in the future and this project makes a significant contribution to this goal.”
