Dual Learning for Improving Digital Skills of Young Woodworkers

Main objectives of WOODigital are as follows:

Building a multi-stakeholder framework to design a dual system model and training offer that are fit for purpose and relevant for the sector by building on and enhancing existing knowledge and practices;
Optimizing and sharing a well-organized dual system model for fostering digital skills in the woodworking sector by acting upon specific methodological guidelines and promoting innovative training approaches, including mobility and e-learning;
Developing a student-centered training offer suitable for being exploited and improved in other MS (micro and small enterprises) and initiatives, especially focusing on manufacturing industries.

The project

The purpose of the WOODigital project (2020-22) is to improve the digital skills - Industry 4.0 - of young Europeans (ages 18 to 35) working or interested in working in the wood and furniture sector, through dual (VET - vocational education and training) training methodology.

VET dual training combines activities carried out in both the training center and in companies. In other words, it is a work-based training modality.

WOODigital will first identify the digital skills and competencies needed by young people working or interested in working in the wood and furniture sector. Then a new joint curriculum will be designed in order to meet these needs, based on this a training course will be developed (in 5 languages), and, finally, this course will be integrated in a online platform as an open and free online course. The course will be validated through a pilot course among at least 75 young people, 25 of whom will participate in a 10 days dual training stay in Italy.
