WHY DELTA

The DELTA digital portfolio is a set of multimedia materials designed to bring VET colleges closer to companies. Although in all partner countries there are different modalities of work- based learning, the relation between the company and the VET college is usually based on the principle "what the student should know about how the company works". However, the company misses important information about: the learning methodologies used in VET colleges, how the students work with their peers, how the college provides the tools and mechanisms to foster innovation, creativity and problem solving, how cooperation is encouraged. In this sense, apprentices can bring new ideas and innovation to the business and contribute to promote a training culture within the company.

The innovative character of this intellectual ouput is this shift of focus from enterprises´ needs to the benefits of apprenticeships for employers (not "what do you need?" but "this is what I can do for you").

DELTA Portfolio is addressed at VET students and VET colleges. They will be able to use the DELTA digital portfolio to present the student´s specific skills as well as the VET college's activities, when addressing a company regarding hosting an apprentice.
