NERDVET @JOB&ORIENTA, the Italian fair for VET

The NERDVET project joined the most important Italian fair “JOB&ORIENTA” on Education and Vocational Training, held in Verona, Italy, from 25 to 27 November.

Being one of the founders of the fair, ENAIP NET (Coordinator of the NERDVET project) organized a rich program of webinars and conferences tackling a variety of topics such as VET and sustainability, the future of VET and how to enhance digital skills. The latter topic was touched during the webinar entitled “D-WISE”, where two European-funded projects were presented as focusing on digital literacy and digital skills.

Considering the relevance of the topic within the wider scenario of the VET, the webinar proposed a one-hour discussion on how the NERDVET and #respACT projects contribute to enhancing critical thinking and digital skills amongst VET students, thanks to the training proposal addressed to trainers. A valuable and research-oriented contribution rooting the work done to a scientific approach was also offered by the partner University of Verona attending the webinar.

For the NERDVET project, the event represented the very first public appearance after months of “silent” work on the preliminary tasks paving the way for the development of its core outputs to be tested during 2022.
