Follow App – Istanbul Meeting

The objective of the Follow App project 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 partners of Follow-App met together on the 2nd of July in stunning Istanbul for an in-person project meeting this past month. Partners from all organisations – 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) – participated

Discussion primarily focused on exciting updates on:
WP3 – The Follow App Virtual Campus And Mobile App
WP4 – Piloting phases and production of Guidelines and Recommendations on graduate tracking of apprentices in DUAL VET

All in all, the project has been going exceedingly well and is meeting its required deliverables on time and to a high quality. The next period of the project will look to produce usable resources and assets to begin the process of user testing with the intention to make the project outputs available to VET educators in Europe.
