Age management is a commitment to ensure that the human resources (whom the employers work with, in this case the school staff) would be capable of work not only today, but also in some 40 years from now. From the point of view of educators, age management presents sets of actions for the needs of people of different ages (not only for the older employees) with the aim to prepare the educators (working environment, policies and strategies) for the moment when the school will be forced to employ
significantly larger rate of employees aged over 50 than it is today.
This project will address the school staff, VETteachers and trainers in particular; CPD program designed in our project will be aimed at professional teaching staff and reflect the current needs in the ageing school environment.
Main objective of the project is to develop a set of practical tools for educators of all levels (especially VET providers) in age management in relation to education sector. The set of tools will consist of:
1. Collection of best practice examples on solutions of age-related issues in schools,
2. Comparative analysis of the case studies and recommendation for the educators on the effective choice of age management measures,
3. Curricula for training of selected school staff in age related topics,
4. Model introductory training program – Continuous Professional Development program (CPD program) for VET teachers and trainers,
5. Web platform providing all the previous tools in an online form to the public.
The main project objective will be fulfilled by the following partial objectives: – to create a professional network in the problem area and contribute to it:
– to involve age management trainers (teachers/trainers from VET providers) into the training activities;
– to spread the results of the project within the professional networks of the partners.
