The aim of the Follow App project – which Innoquality Systems is a proud member of – is to set-up and test a graduate tracking method supported by digital tools designed to track employment and career progression of apprentices in DUAL VET programmes, addressed to VET teachers, counsellors, in-company trainers and learners, improving the responsiveness of VET to the changing demands in the labour market and strengthening the Quality Assurance in VET.

The project features a fantastic consortium, with partners from Instituto para el fomento del desarrollo y la formación (Spain), as well as Centro Servizi Formazione (Italy), DIMITRA EDUCATION & CONSULTING (Greece), AssForSEO (Italy), AIN – Asociación Industria Navarra (Spain), Avrupa Birliği ve Dış İlişkiler Bürosu (Turkey).

As work continues as part of the project , some of the following are existing resources which have been identified in research conducted as part of the project and output development.

One such project is the project “Digital tracking of VET graduates via auto-analytics to enhance the quality and sustainability of vocational and educational training programmes”

The DITOGA project started on 01/09/2018. The background of the project was to meet the demands of the working world regarding the offered VET programmes of VET providers/institutions for VET students/VET graduates across Europe. Thus, the main idea was to align and adapt the offered VET programmes with the constantly changing demand of the world and therefore the labour market outside the educational institutions across Europe. A fact is, that the demands of the world of work and the labour market are constantly changing and in the context of contemporary challenges like digitalisation, individualisation and internationalisation, the skills and qualifications that were and are expected of VET students/graduates were and are constantly changing as well. VET providers have to face these challenges, but it seems that as soon as they have gathered enough relevant data and are ready to adapt their VET programmes accordingly, the world outside the VET institutions has already evolved again.
