Aims of the seminar:

This seminar could be considered a multiplier event, whose main aim, according to the Project proposal, was not showing the project results but recruit people who may be interested in the MOOC.

Taking this main aim (recruit people) as the guiding thread, what we aimed with this event was:

To offer the MOOC to those professionals who could be interested; not only to company tutors but also to school tutors who want to improve their tutoring skills.
To networking, share experiences, interests and general information about dual VET system in the region.
To raise awareness about the importance and positive aspects of dual VET systems.
To take advantage of the variety of companies and VET centers to interchange existing programs in the region.
To share the project outputs with the professionals involved in the dual VET system.
To interchange experiences and opinions about the current situation of the system in Aragon.
To know successful stories of young people who took a dual VET path.

Participants

The Chamber of Commerce directed its promotional actions mainly to regional companies. We especially targeted companies that are currently participating in the WBL system or those that we know may be interested in starting to do so. For this reason, we invited them to be part of this event, to receive information, to exchange experience with other professionals interested in the subject and to offer them the training MOOC for tutors. Although with less emphasis and in order to make the event more enriching and interesting, we invited some representatives from VET centers that currently offer VET programs.
