Evaluating Catering and Hospitality Skills though ECVET, phase 2

Description

The project was coordinated by Helsinki Culinary School Perho while Helsinki Vocational College and Lapland Tourism College were members of the Finnish Consortium. The project was carried out with the International CHASE Network, which consists of 22 hospitality and catering colleges around Europe. Most of the colleges acted both as a sending and a receiving partner. The Network has been operating for 25 years and represents a wide range of different language and cultural areas. From the gastronomic point of view, the colleges represent traditional European regional gastronomy. One of the strategic choices of the Consortium colleges is internationalization, which is put into practice for example by providing the students with opportunities for on-the-job learning abroad as well as the staff training abroad. These actions support the colleges’ vision and strengthens and promotes sustainable development such as understanding and respecting multiculturalism and diversity. The participants of the project were teachers/on-the-job learning supervisors and primary and upper secondary based students, who study a vocational qualification in the fields of restaurant, bakery or tourism. The two-year project enabled 39 student mobilities of 4-5 months and 5 mobilities of 5 weeks. 7 teachers had a 12-day training and 1 teacher a 5-week training abroad.Work placements abroad enabled different kinds of learning environments and individual learning pathways for students. The staff training focused on strengthening the language skills, international expertise and IT skills. Teachers were trained to use electronic means like Skype, which enabled for example vocational skills demonstration assessment in real-time for students abroad. All the students accomplished from 1 to 3 Vocational Skills Demonstrations. The skills and learning outcomes acquired abroad were validated and recognized as part of the qualification. The project made use of Europass Certificate Supplement, Europass CV and Europass Mobility Document.Sharing ECVET knowledge was the common theme in the CHASE network. The project aimed to develop documents/material in English such as evaluation/assessment forms based on vocational program in hotel, restaurant and catering qualification and its unit of learning outcomes. The material produced in the project describes the validation of the learning outcomes and specifies the assessment targets in on-the-job learning such as the knowledge, the skills and the competence of the student.
