Toward a holistic training framework
|
A well-founded VET offering starts with the development of a sound methodological framework. The first phase of the project is on its way with the creation of a methodological framework that promotes innovation, re-adaptation, and reconfiguration in education. Leveraging well-recognised methodologies such as the Lean Methodology and Total Quality Management, the new framework aims to reshape the way tourism VET offers are created and delivered, effectively promoting sustainable thinking within the tourism workforce. |
