CATIT – Cultural Awareness in Technical & Industrial Vocational Training

As there is an increasing need for qualified workers more people will be under pressure to migrate and seek better job and living opportunities, multicultural aspects will become more and more important. This is a challenge for vocational training programmes. Also technical teachers and trainers should develop the skills, attitudes and knowledge to recognise and understand the needs of immigrant students. Within this framework the CATIT project will provide a supplementary training programme and training materials for teachers and trainers of technical and industrial subjects, so that they will be better equipped ro help and support immigrant student to qualify in the fields that suffer from labour shortages. The results of the project will be a report on issues and problems identified by needs analysis and background survey, a supplementary training programme, training materials for vocational teachers and trainer needs, multimedia programme on conflict solving in intercultural issues when teaching immigrants, a DVD of teaching security issues to immigrants in the construction field, and an outline of best practices for training for diverse groups. Target groups of the project are first of all immigrant students but also employers and teachers and trainers within technical and industrial areas. The users of the final products will mainly be teachers and trainers. For disseminating the outcomes the project will try to involve the users and beneficiaries of the projects’ results from the start and use specific multimedia like exploitation channels to support the distribution of information.
