Shoes Made in EU—The European Shoemaker
The project aimed to strengthen Vocational Education and Training (VET ) in the footwear sector through the adaptation of existing curricula in Italy, Germany, Portugal and Poland in order to develop a new curriculum for shoe makers, which takes into account the latest materials, engineering and manufacturing processes and tecniques. The curriculum followed the EU Quality Framework and European Credit VET system ( ECVET ) for European wide recognition of the profesional qualification. The course will also include the most innovative technological learning tools available to equip young people with the necesary skills and competences in order to increase their employability in the footwear sector. Furthermore, the project promoted specialised footwear education and training through Europe.
