Project Goal
To create and launch a model vocational education institution based on Kyiv Professional Technological College in order to modernize vocational education and train professional staff with skills relevant to market needs. The project is aimed at contributing to the development of regions, increasing the economic potential of communities, strengthening the practice-oriented content of education, and building partnerships between education, the community, business and civil society.
The project also aimed to partially form the material and technical base for an exemplary vocational education institution, develop training programmes and training materials for short-term training and retraining, and train trainers who will further deliver short-term training and retraining.
Within the project, NGO “CULT FOOD” worked on creating the basis for a model vocational education institution based on Kyiv Professional Technological College. The project combined the development of the material and technical base, the development of short-term training programmes, training for trainers, and a media campaign to increase the visibility of the initiative.
A special focus was placed on practice-oriented training and short-term programmes that respond to the current needs of the labour market in the HoReCa sector. The developed programmes can be used for rapid training, retraining or further training of participants and for developing labour potential.
