Skills Workshop
The ‘WaBeQ – Competence Workshop’ project examines the extent to which digital media can be used to ensure that the training of young people with special educational needs is appropriately structured. To this end, in a collaborative development process with the training staff at the Waller Employment and Qualification Society (WabeQ), the key elements of the vocational science-based ‘Competence Workshop’ concept are being developed, tested and optimised to create a work-process- and competence-oriented, digitally supported vocational training programme.
WaBeQ is, amongst other things, an external or non-company-based training centre in Bremen and offers young people with greater support needs apprenticeships in the skilled trades. Currently, these include apprenticeships as a bicycle mechanic, a floor layer and a vehicle painter. The training is supported by supplementary remedial and enrichment lessons, as well as socio-educational support and guidance.
Taking the apprenticeship in floor laying as an example, a vocational field-of-activity structure is first drawn up and corresponding descriptions of these fields of activity are prepared. On this basis, digitally supported learning and work tasks for this apprenticeship are then developed and tested, and didactic application scenarios are designed. The vocational pedagogical and methodological approach in the project is based on the vocational science concept of the ‘competence workshop’ (see link in the blue box).
Throughout the entire duration of the project, the aim is to identify and take into account the prerequisites for implementing the digitally supported learning and work tasks, both on the part of the training staff and the trainees. This includes providing support in setting up a technical infrastructure to ensure barrier-free access to the digital media and tools developed.
Finally, a plan will be drawn up to transfer the results and experiences to other vocational training programmes offered by WaBeQ.
