NewWBL

Work based learning (WBL) has been and still remains today the best method for teaching and learning skills and obtaining skilled workers. WBL helps Young people to master not only relevant occupational skills, but also other work related competences, including communication, problem solving, allocation of resources, and dealing with supervisors and of co-workers. WBL combines what young people learn on the job and in the classroom.
The key question guiding our project is not whether WBL works, but how it works. We want to understand under what conditions and for which purposes WBL works best. In other words, we want to examine the conditions that contribute to good WBL. The overall purpose of the project is to review WBL approaches from an industry point of view, to determine the financial and legislative framework in which WBL operates, and develop new models for WBL that respond to current and future challenges.
