Tutors
for European Work Based Training
Work-based vocational training (also called "sandwich training"
or "alternate training") is organised in the form of periods
in a school or training centre as well as periods in the workplace
in a company. The development of European work-based training, in
which alternation takes place between a training centre and a company
or institution in another country, constitutes one of the main objectives
of European policy concerning vocational training. The Tutor-Ring
project, funded within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci programme,
aims to raise the quality of such European transnational work-based
training.
