Objective OBJECTIVESEmployees in the tourist industry have little access to vocational training which could enable them to acquire international business skills. This lack of information means that they do not have the opportunity to adapt to the globalisation of the tourist market. This is why the project, based on a transnational partnership, is aimed at improving and intensifying vocational training opportunities for employees and owners of small tourist businesses in order to facilitate the marketing of the products and services of the tourist trade throughout the EU.ACTIVITIESThe partners will firstly examine the vocational training requirements of this sector in each of the countries involved in the project and will try to define a training methodology capable of responding to these requirements whilst taking into account the differences in each country. A vocational training programme backed up by seminars will be tested on three target groups in three countries (the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany) and then disseminated on the Internet.PRODUCTSThe project will end with the development of training modules relating to the European tourist industry, which can be used for self-training programmes and in-company training. Manuals will be produced in German and English; the contents will also be available on diskette.Contract number : UK/95/2/1294/P/II.1.1.a)/FPCDomaine : Continuing vocational trainingContents : Training within companies Products : Distance training tools Methodologies for analysing training needs Methodologies for vocational guidance Public : Workers/ Employees Young people entering work Young people in training Programme(s) ET-LEONARDO DA VINCI 1 - Action programme for the implementation of a European Community vocational training policy Leonardo da Vinci, 1995-1999 Topic(s) II.1.1.a - Innovation in vocational training for workers Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator Devon & Cornwall Training and Enterprise Council EU contribution No data Address Foliot House, Budshead road, Crownhill PL6 5XR Plymouth United Kingdom See on map Total cost No data Participants (3) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all Exeter University United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address Cotley,Streatham Rise, EX4 4PE DE Exeter See on map Total cost No data UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK Ireland EU contribution No data Address CORK See on map Total cost No data Wirtschaftsakademie Schleswig-Holstein Germany EU contribution No data Address Hans-Detlev-Priem-Strasse 10, 24106 Kiel See on map Total cost No data
