Dual Learning for Improving Digital Skills of Young Woodworkers

In details, expected results of WOODigital are:

Boosting cooperation and dialogue between different stakeholders (SMEs and entrepreneurs/employers representatives, VET providers, innovation experts and professionals) aimed at driving innovation across Europe both at training-level and industry-level;
Improving woodworkers digital skills and making them more capable to cope with and resilient to changes occurring in the sector and led by the Industry 4.0 through VET offers and systems more responsive and innovative;
Promoting innovation in the woodworking and furniture VET offer/ supporting school-to-work transition, inclusion and employability of young people by enhancing learning of digital skills in work-based transnational settings;
Develope, test and validate a dual model suitable for enhancing learning mobility, including a set of innovative teachings, learning and assessment practices; and
Setting a quality-driven circle by lessons learnt and outcomes from other projects, to further create synergies among woodworking-based projects at EU level, and then inspiring other national initiatives (Horizon Europe, COSME, ESF, among others).

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.
