"<< Background >>The implementation of training and validation is currently implemented in the TLS industry in the form of practical skills, e.g. physical internships at the company's headquarters. This is particularly difficult in crisis situations such as a pandemic, and also does not meet the requirements of a changing market, especially in the context of digitization and ecological requirements.The basic needs that the project meets are:a) insufficient digital competences of employees in the TSL industry,b) insufficient level of automation of training, validation and implementation processes (workflow),c) insufficient preparation for changes,The results of research conducted in 2018-19 by the European Logistic Association organization, which showed that changes in the sector, in particular related to the industry's impact on the environment and changes in the labor market (industry 4.0), confirm the need for changes in the digital competences of employees in the TFL sector. transformations in qualifications mainly at level 4. technological solutions and an understanding of sustainable development (""green"" competences).The following are particularly important competences of the future: the ability to learn and acquire new qualifications, understanding (implementation, promotion) of new technologies and data mining in order to better manage orders and procedures, (implementation, promotion) understanding of sustainable development, skills of ""data mining"" and combining them into a clear set of supply chain parameters, knowledge and proficiency in areas such as analytics, artificial intelligence, workflows and the Internet of Things, understanding (implementation, promotion) of innovative initiatives throughout the organization. Based on the analysis received from the Partner (Berufliche Schulen Kehl), it is possible to list the professions that currently have the greatest potential for development and the need for digitization in Germany; - spec. for warehouse logistics, seller of shipping and logistics services, clerk for shipping and logistics services. In Finland, all professions in the transport and logistics sector are important and there is a constant shortage of staff in these sectors. In particular, digitization is expected to have an impact on the planning and implementation of urban logistics, cargo handling at logistic nodes, urban transport implementations and information management in international transport.The project aims to develop methods and techniques of learning in a hybrid and online system. In the era of worldwide epidemics and potentially future, similar threats, in many areas, including training, it is necessary to replace direct contact and propose solutions enabling remote provision of services. Automation of the training process, with particular emphasis on validation, applies to all stages: data collection, verification, contact with the participant and on-line validation, including the performance of validation tasks and assessment. The project is based on the assumption that, through hybrid methods and teaching automation, users should get used to using IT tools.The consequence of automation and digitization is the preparation of a chain of processes for the educational / validation services provided in the TLS sector, which is to prepare glazing and validation organizations for change. It is about organizational and process readiness as well as readiness to introduce changes. In order to achieve such a state of affairs under the project: we provide appropriate resources in the form of tools and teaching materials, we prepare the standardization of processes, we share experiences related to digital transformation.<< Objectives >>The main goal of the project is to improve training opportunities in the TLS sector and obtaining confirmation of competences, with particular emphasis on professions such as: logistics technician, seller of forwarding and logistics services, specialist in urban logistics, cargo handling at logistics nodes, urban transport service and information management in international transport. The project aims to provide remote education and validation tools, methods, inspiration and good practices. The aim of the project is to be achieved through: 1. Increasing the knowledge of 50 educators and entrepreneurs in the field of innovative methods of competency assessment by providing tools such as Map and microcompetence Profiler (re 1) and tools for remote validation 2. Increasing knowledge of TLS educators regarding planning and use modern methods of education and validation, by providing a course in remote validation (res 2) 3. Increasing the institution's ability to remotely assess and validate employee competences by providing tools for remote validation and a support system (res 4) 4. Improving cooperation and knowledge exchange between institutions of the vocational education and business sector in the TLS industry, by providing a virtual helpdesk prototype (re 4) 5. Institutional development and increasing the know-how of project partners as a result of international activities. The project is to be consistent with introducing systematic methods and opportunities for initial and continuous professional development for teachers, trainers and VET mentors in schools and in the workplace (including during apprenticeships), including by shaping an effective, digital, open and innovative education and pedagogy and the use of practical tools; increasing the attractiveness of the profession for teachers, trainers, mentors and leaders of lifelong learning. The project will use educational materials supporting mobile-learning, online materials and social channels as an adaptation to the trend of making the education process independent of time and place. The developed results of intellectual work will be available in an open manner in digital distribution channels. The aim of the project is to create an ecosystem of tools (Project results: 1. Map and Microcompetence Profiler 2. Remote Validation Course - TLS Guidelines 3. Remote Validation Tools 4. Support System for Validating Institutions) that will make the training process resistant to Covid 19 and similar crisis situations. The proposed tools transfer the process to the Web and automate it. Thanks to the possibility of remote verification of qualifications, disabled employees of training companies will be able to actively participate in this process. The currently planned project aims to include industry education in the context of digital transformation and the so-called new reality.<< Implementation >>To achieve results, project partners will apply the methodology of activities used in other projects. The main assumption of such a methodology is the involvement of all partners in the implementation of results, as well as verification and development of products. At each stage, verification activities and quality monitoring (substantive corrections, discussions, information exchange) are planned. Project objectives and results will be achieved through: 1. Intellectual work of experts (results of intellectual work) 2. Meetings and workshops (project meetings combined with workshops and tests of solutions proposed in the project) 3. Dissemination event The activities under the project will be directly related to the achievement of the project objectives and the implementation of the planned results. For each result, a sequence of actions is planned with the provision of feedback and control mechanisms Monitoring activities are to ensure high quality of products and their timely implementation. A typical sequence that leads to an intellectual result is: 1. Establishing a starting point (based on a needs analysis, previous work done, etc.) 2. Establishing a work plan and division of tasks (taking into account possible changes occurring after the submission of the project) 3. Working on results 4. Re-checking and quality control 5. Testing 6. Modification 7. Implementation 8. Dissemination, Use and Development It should be noted that the project activities will be directly related to the regular activities of the project partners and the results will be directly applicable in partner institutions. The applicant plans to carry out the following promotional and Public Relations activities leading to the achievement of the project objectives and planned results? 1. Sharing the results of intellectual work on the websites of the consortium members, on the partners' social profiles, on the Erasmus + results sharing platform 2. Online information about the project on websites and social media 3. Contacts with journalists 4. Activecontacts with the partners' environment 5. Using the potential of other projects for information and dissemination activities. The project will also use unusual forms of education - TTS Työtehoseura has in its technical resources a training center based on VR simulators. We will use this potential in the form of training courses for staff containing elements such as digital solutions based on artificial intelligence, machine learning and offer platforms.<< Results >>Results expected during the project duration for all Partners: Hard results - number of training and test participants - 20 - number of organizations participating in the project - 4 - the number of results of intellectual work - 4 - the number of people covered by disseminating events - 250Soft results - at the end of the project: - Increased potential and know-how on managing partner projects among participating organizations rated 4 by respondents on a 5-point Likert scale (surveys during the project) - Increased knowledge of 50 beneficiaries on innovative methods of assessment and validation of competences, assessed by the respondents at min. 4 on the 5-point Likert scale (questionnaires in during the project) - Increased knowledge about remote validation rated by respondents at 4 on a 5-point Likert scale (surveys during the project) - Increased ability to use the remote validation system and - Improving cooperation and exchange of knowledge between the education system and business in TLS rated by respondents at 4 on the 5-point Likert scale (surveys during project duration) - Increased awareness of the industry community regarding the possibilities of hybrid education and validation At the end of the project, it is planned to develop and implement the results of intellectual work aimed at: a) development of models of technological solutions optimizing the work of enterprises depending on their size and specificity of activities undertaken in the TSL industry b) developing solutions for the future (the potential of IT technologies), which are to correspond to the new post-pandemic reality, emphasizing alternative forms of communication and social relations From a teaching practice perspective, a competency framework for educators will be developed to identify the knowledge, skills and requirements needed for training work.
