Development of solutions in the field of cooperation between universities and vocational schools in the rail transport industry for professions: railway transport and construction techniques

The project aims to develop a sustainable and universal model of cooperation between industry schools and universities and employers, including: an example curriculum for a given profession (b) an example of the organisation of classes for pupils using the teaching base of vocational and higher education schools, (c) a proposal for measures to familiarise vocational pupils and teachers with new techniques/technology used in the sector, (d) examples of training for vocational education teachers. The starting point for the work will be the initial analysis of teachers’ expectations before joining the project and deepened as the first stage of the project’s work. The model developed on this basis will help to overcome the diagnosed barriers faced by schools and employers. The programme puts particular emphasis on familiarising students and teachers with new techniques/technology and processes/procedures used in the rail transport industry. This means the need to develop innovative teaching tools. The models developed (with the participation of universities, vocational schools and employers – Project Partners) will be piloted, by implementing sample solutions in the school through the creation of a patronage class.On the basis of pilots, after their evaluation, adjustments and additions will be introduced. The final versions of the models will be reviewed by university experts, and will then be published in the public domain indicated by the IP PO WER. The model will be presented at the seminar to schools so that they can introduce, developed solutions in their facilities. This will allow for sustainable, systemic cooperation between vocational schools and higher education and training systems and better labour market relevance of education and training systems, facilitating the transition from education to employment, and strengthening vocational education and training systems and their quality. The project will run from November 2020 to October 2022.
