Result 1: a report on existing online and hybrid delivery approaches/case studies and a synthesis of key findings. The partnership will deliver 7 online research seminars exploring different approaches to delivering training in online and hybrid learning environments. Each partner will organise 1 research seminar in their specific VET field (i.e. University of Cyprus – Higher Education, Comparative Research Network – digital skills development) and invite 2 stakeholders to present case studies of good practice. The seminars will provide both an opportunity to learn from other VET professionals and be a knowledge exchange in which the attending VET professionals can share their own learning and expertise in the field as part of a facilitated discussion. The learnings from this and stakeholder presentations will be used to create a report on existing online and hybrid delivery approaches. This will synthesise the key findings from the seminar series and present them in an accessible and easy to disseminate format.

Result 2: a training-the-trainer curriculum for VET educators in online and hybrid facilitation skills – The learnings from Result 1 activities will be the basis of the development of Result 2 – a training-the-trainer curriculum for VET educators in online and hybrid facilitation skills. This curriculum will set out a framework through which existing VET educators can learn how to adapt their training and educational programmes to online and hybrid environments, learn new digital skills and explore a range of supporting e-learning and digital tools.

Result 3: digital/e-learning resources to support VET educators to develop digital competencies for delivering training in online and hybrid settings To support the usage of Result 1 and also for independent study, Result 3 will see the creation of Digital/e-learning resources to support VET educators to develop digital competencies for delivering training in online and hybrid settings. These resources will be presented in a range of media formats to support different learning styles and will help VET educators explore topics such as inclusive facilitation practices in online environments, how-to guides for using different tools and platforms and adapting vocational and practical training into online paradigms.

Result 4: position paper on a pan-European core competencies benchmarks for the VET sector in online and hybrid learning environment facilitation skills and a proposed application of micro-credentials The learning on BEYZO will be synthesised into a position paper on a pan-European set of benchmarks that outline the core competencies needed in the VET sector and for VET professionals to deliver high quality and effective teaching and learning in online and hybrid learning environments. These benchmarks will contribute to the current EU process of co-creating and defining a concept of micro-credentials, The partnership will also deliver a training activity “Train existing VET trainers and facilitators in facilitation techniques for:

• online and hybrid learning environments and the use of a range of digital technologies and platforms” (C1).
• This 4-day training will equip VET professionals with the skills to take their educational programmes into online and hybrid
• environments. The training will focus on developing benchmark/core digital competencies in participants and supporting
• them to use these in their own VET environments. The training will provide opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and
• skill-sharing, as well as more traditional education and learning opportunities.
