The first meeting of STREAM project partners took place in Rome (Italy)

On March 12th-13th of 2023, the head of the Education and Science Department of the Kaunas Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, Aušra Misonė, along with the project’s partner in Lithuania – the Vilnius Automechanics and Business School, participated in the first meeting of the new project the STREAM with partners from other countries, which took place in Rome (Italy).

The STREAM project started operating on January 1, 2024, and its duration is until 2026 December 31st.

The STREAM project will build a new micro-credential framework, operating under the working title “The European Professional Certificate for Practitioners in Inclusive, Digital and Green Work-Based Learning”.

The objective of the new project is to identify the skills necessary for vocational education and training (VET) trainers and business mentors in order to design and manage high quality Work – Based Learning (WBL) experiences.

The STREAM target groups are VET staff and companies involved in WBL/international
mobilities. It is expected to impact significantly, through its MC framework, experimentation, validation and certification, in the following areas:

• Make VET more pertinent and aligned with the labour market by implementing a proven and trustworthy MC system.
• More effective and agile design, organisation and evaluation of WBL (national and
  transnational between VET providers and companies)
• Europe’s VET community to better support WBL through international and intercultural
  experiences.
• Increased employability, opportunities for training, certification and recognition
  of skills acquired in WBL for VET students.
