The Skillful -Future Experts project aims to create a national model of open studies and learning environments between different training providers. The model aims at a new way of organising vocational studies to meet the needs of young people who have dropped out of education and who are not in education or training, as well as to increase the second-level acquisition and deepening of new skills. The project develops the operating model in close cooperation with the Control Centres in different regions. The project utilises existing vocational studies by organising them in a new way so that young people can familiarise themselves with the fields of work, start flexible and controlled vocational studies, and move from a qualification, a degree section or a training organiser to another nationally. In addition, young people can deepen their skills through project learning by sharing professional techniques in different skill areas. As part of the operating model, a working approach for guidance teaching will be developed. The project will pilot the offer of open studies from network countries, in which all project promoters will participate. In addition, the project pilots a guiding teaching model, where teachers from the pilot fields receive new or changing young people, organise content that is open to them in the field, so that young people get to the field and coordinate project-based open studies organised at national level.One of the project’s activities are piloted in six fields. In these areas, teachers organise orienteering studies in the field of education, enabling young people to become familiar with the field, to start flexible vocational studies or to find out where their skills are at that time. Teachers also pilot nationally organised open project studies, in which students from different education organisers participate nationwide. Teachers carry out activities with a guided work attitude and work closely with mentors working with young people, such as guidance counsellors and cockpit workers. In the context of piloting, the project develops a guidance teaching approach through mentoring. In addition, the project will develop a national network-based open study offer, which will be supported by the new qualification criteria (eBasis) placed in the study path. The project results in a functional, flexible, national and network-based model of open studies between different education and training providers, in which teachers and mentors operate according to the young person’s own training plan that supports smooth transitions, so that young people develop and deepen their skills wherever they are. The activities are supported by a guidance approach, where teachers are trained.
