We have invited vocational trainees for further training

VET professionals play a key role in vocational training. We are therefore all the more pleased with the large number of participants at this year's forum. The morning was led by an external expert who used practical inputs and methods to shed light on the various roles of vocational trainers, in particular their role as coaches.

Learning objectives of the day:

• Vocational trainees will analyse their different roles.
• They learn the basics of cognitive constructivism.
• A resource- and solution-orientated coaching method is applied and reflected upon.
• The participants develop a shared pedagogical understanding.
• Ideas for the introduction of new vocational trainees are introduced.

Focus of content:

• The role of vocational trainers as the key to guiding learners.
• Development of new learning approaches for VET students.
• Promoting self-efficacy and motivation.
• Introduction of new VET students.
• Empowering people: How can VET professionals be empowered?

In the afternoon, the participants worked in groups using the Flemo method (see below) to further develop their pedagogical understanding. Initial ideas for an induction concept for new VET students were developed in several rounds of discussions (Word Café). The vocational trainees used the day with great commitment and enjoyment.
