Workshop: New Schools for New Labour Markets
A huge number of articles deals with the rapid changes of the labour market and the challenges for the educational system. Keywords like Industry 4.0, Climate Change, Resilience in Case of Disasters, Participation and Inclusion, give an impression of these challenges.
To put it in a Nutshell:
Needed are people who are autonomous, motivated and creative in identifying problems together, seeking or developing approaches for solutions and implementing solutions into practice.
This raises a few questions:
- What kind of frameworks reflect these challenges?
- How can schools identify concrete requirements of companies and the labour market?
- How can schools adapt to new and often continuously changing requirements?
The workshop presents solutions based on the experiences of ITECH Elbinsel, a VET school for informatics. The school won in 2023 the German school award for it’s complete transformation to an agile educational institution. Currently, ITECH is partner of the Centre of Vocational excellence Germany together with the Vocational University Hamburg, offering study integrated apprenticeships. (see WIN4SMES.eu).
Taller: Nuevas escuelas para nuevas exigencias laborales
Numerosos artículos abordan los rápidos cambios del mercado laboral y los retos del sistema educativo. Palabras clave como Industria 4.0, Cambio Climático, Resiliencia ante Desastres, Participación e Inclusión, ofrecen una visión de estos desafíos.
En resumen:
Se necesitan personas autónomas, motivadas y creativas para identificar problemas conjuntamente, buscar o desarrollar enfoques de solución e implementarlas en la práctica.
Esto plantea algunas preguntas:
- ¿Qué tipo de marcos reflejan estos retos?
- ¿Cómo pueden las escuelas identificar las necesidades concretas de las empresas y del mercado laboral?
- ¿Cómo pueden las escuelas adaptarse a las nuevas y, a menudo, cambiantes necesidades?
El taller presenta soluciones basadas en la experiencia de ITECH Elbinsel, una escuela de FP en informática. La escuela ganó en 2023 el premio escolar alemán por su transformación completa en una institución educativa ágil. Actualmente, ITECH colabora con el Centro de Excelencia Profesional de Alemania, junto con la Universidad Profesional de Hamburgo, ofreciendo prácticas integradas en el estudio. (ver WIN4SMES.eu).
