In order to achieve the objectives of the VET-POWER project, several closely interlinked phases and macro-activities are planned, allowing for a structured, progressive and coherent approach to the identified objectives.

The project begins with a needs analysis phase, aimed at gaining a thorough understanding of the gaps in the vocational training systems of the African partner countries, particularly in the electrical sector. This phase involves the direct participation of VET centres, local private sector actors and other stakeholders to ensure that the data collected reflects the real needs of the labour market.

This is followed by the development of innovative training modules, based on the results of the initial analysis. European and African partners work together to design up-to-date, practical training courses that are consistent with the needs of the electrical sector, integrating digital, green and transversal skills. These modules will then be tested directly with students and teachers to assess their effectiveness and make any necessary improvements.

At the same time, the capacity building phase will begin, aimed at both VET centre managers and teachers and in-company tutors. Through targeted training activities, skills in pedagogy, management, inclusion, green and digital transition will be strengthened, and leadership and work-based learning promotion skills will be improved.

A further key phase concerns the strengthening of internationalisation strategies for African VET centres. Through job shadowing for managers and trainers, targeted training and pilot student mobility, the project aims to build skills and concrete connections that will enable centres to seize the opportunities offered by international cooperation, particularly within the Erasmus+ programme.
