Testing a European Competency Framework for VET in Collections Management

WP2: Training

WP2 is focused on training needs and opportunities within the natural history sector. It will gather information on training requirements and the existing European training offer with the aim of developing a curriculum of VET training opportunities to assist collections staff in achieving the competencies necessary for their role and future development.

Key objectives:

  • Analyse stakeholders’ learning needs to identify training requirements
  • Evaluate existing European training offer and provide gap analysis
  • Design a VET curriculum to meet identified learning needs based on defined set of core competencies
  • Provide access to multi-language VET material on-site and on-line
  • Set up language-based centres to assist staff in selecting own-language courses etc
