As part of EMPLOVET, project co financed by the Erasmus + programme, HETEL is hosting this week a group of 9 VET teachers from Romania, Macedonia and Turkey.       The aim of the visit is to receive a short training in methodologies and support offered by HETEL VET schools to students so they will be better prepared to access the labour market.       During 5 days, the teachers visiting us will learn about the VET system in the Basque Country, cooperative learning, ETHAZI (high performance learning methodology implemented in some VET schools), entrepreneurship projects and career guidance, counting with the training provided by Egibide, Maristak Durango, Centro de Formación Somorrostro and Nazaret Zentroa.

           Since October 2015 HETEL is working in the project INCLUSIVE VET, co-financed by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission, with the aim to build a VET system more inclusive for everyone, paying particular attention to those students with special needs for learning due to different reasons.         For the results of the project, we are counting a lot with Otxarkoaga, due to their expertise and involvement to create a more inclusive society starting with the delivery of education and vocational training to those who have it more difficult to build a future for themselves.           In the successive meetings of INCLUSIVE VET, the partners have been exchanging our good practices in different topics related to inclusive education. The last one, in Porvoo (Finland), about engagement with local agents.            All these good practices and examples will be found in the Guideline “’How to implement Inclusion in school and its environment”, which is being prepared by the project partners to provide a step by step plan to build a more inclusive vocational system.         Follow the project website to be updated! http://inclusive-vet.eu/    

         One of the  motives  that  incentives Hetel’s activity is the commitment to society and economic development  of the Basque Country. In this sense, in order to improve the attention to the unemployed people and to the SMEs from Euskadi, Hetel enplegua service has been structured and Pedro Sanchez, from Centro Formativo Otxarkoaga, will be in charge.             Hetel ‘s 20 centers will join efforts in trying to improve the employability and opportunities for the youth and people at risk of exclusion. At the same time, Hetel will work in coordination with SMEs, in an attempt to optimize qualified personnel’s requests.
