The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the reality of the education sector and has highlithened the need to transform the existing training systems to meet the current challenges. Just like all other education institutions, VET providers are facing the necessity to reinvent their learning environments so that digitalisation expands and complements the education process. Shifting from school-based education to learning via online platforms and the need for digital content have revealed not only the shortage of the digital technology at schools but also a significant lack of digital skills of teachers and trainers. Even before the COVID-19 crisis teachers in many countries reported the need for ICT training (OECD, 2019).The e-VET project seeks to establish a transnational partnership focusing on the needs of VET providers in view of the digital transformation of the education sector. The project partners will research and analyse the existing digital training solutions, methodologies and techniques for distance learning in order to identify the ones that are easily adaptable and transferrable to different VET training programmes. All the findings will be compiled in the Guidelines for Delivering Remote Teaching in VET.The project contributes to the Covid-19 situation by improving VET teachers’ digital competences not only to use the most up-to edge technologies but also encouraging them to be creators of the digital content which meets the best educational and pedagogical requirements. The project partnership seeks to create the so-called soft results - development of digital skills and guidelines, which could become a valuable resource of educational institution and in the long run ensuring quality and inclusive teaching and learning in various situations, e.g. remote learning due to various reasons such as quarantine, sickness, Erasmus mobility, revision, apprenticeship.The project forms a Strategic Partnership to support digital education in the EU aiming at:-Improving teachers’ digital competences to empower them not only to use various ready-made digital resources in remote and hybrid teaching but also to encourage them to be creators of digital content of vocational curricular by providing a practical training on using various apps, software and learning environments.-Developing the guidelines that will facilitate provision of remote/hybrid training for VET providers.-Implementing short-term transnational training activities for trainers of VET institutions who will be able to use the acquired knowledge and skills for the development of digital content and implementation of remote/hybrid training.-Establishing preconditions for the creation of international virtual learning environment and development of the joint VET programme among the partner organizations.Main target groups addessed:- VET teachers and trainers;- VET students;- VET providers;- Stakeholders (employers, associations, chambers).

It has been emphasized during the application phase of our project that our institution is a frontier in the tourism sector, which is the most significant income resource for foreign currency and thusly help improve the country’s economy, it has been our ongoing goal to deliver education by involving the Informatics Technology and following the innovations both in the national spectrum and in the international platforms.We have also aimed to introduce the most productive educational attainments via the technological resources that are employed nowadays since they have made it possible to take essential skills such as understanding, cognition and application to the ultimate level –whereas these skills were represented at a very low level of productivity within the classical educational system. Our participants, therefore, have deemed it necessary to receive a training course regarding the aforementioned facts in order to involve and integrate ICT, WEB 2.0 and other trending internet aspects (such as social network, android applications, applied simulations, internet blogs, forums etc) into their methods of education.It has been confirmed and verified that Inercia Digital, as the receiving organization and being a highly reliable and equipped institution with more than sufficient experience and knowledge regarding the target field of study, has been the right choice. It was an obvious fact that there are many other project studies in various other countries but the training course that our participants applied to receive was one of the most sought after fields of study, corresponding to the aims of the receiving organization due to the reason that it was a worldwide renown and validated approach that prioritized innovation and creativity.It has also been validated that the determination of the number of participants was also a correct move, having taken into consideration the assessment of our organization in terms of the number of students receiving vocational education, quantity and quality of the classes and workshops and the needs of the organization in general .The fact that one of the participants spoke a beginner level of Spanish has been beneficiary for the entire group with respect to communication and daily conversation. Among the many benefits gained from the training are that the participants acquired practical ideas regarding how they would integrate technology into the subjects they already taught; general knowledge about ICT through various courses; recognition of the benefits of using ICT in classes participants to involve technology in the classes they taught; enabling the participants get familiarized with WEB 2.0 and internet trends; giving a space for exchange of experiences and good practices among people coming from different countries who work in the same field; higher motivation to remain on task by working in small groups; developing actively and constructively students’ involvement in the work at class; encouraging students to take the ownership of their own learning; improving teamwork skills through the use of ICT; exchanging experiences in cooperative and collaborative learning process as long as in creativity and innovation; sharing of best practice in teaching and learning, using ICT; and providing internationalization of the education via innovative and creative methods as well as the social media applications.The participants have successfully been able to integrate this training into education at the organizational level initially and then expanded it into the sector and local platforms, eventually introducing it to the vocational training via the institution.The participants prepared a set of questionnaires and evaluation forms in order to assess whether the project has reached its desired results and collected feedback both from beneficiaries and the staff at the sending organization, making sure that both the participants and the other personnel at the sending organization as well as other personnel from different organizations got involved in the feedback process.The training course and the Digital Classrooms they formed within the institution have created a considerable impact they also affected the other personnel in various institutions in the area, creating a thrill of innovation and excitement. The received training has also been helpful in creating a more contemporary environment of education for the beneficiaries in the future, also improving the success rates in general. It is, and has always been, the utmost goal for the participants to create the most productive environment of education for the benefit of the following generations.
