Background


Vocational training providers would be ill-advised to leave digital change to chance. To align the administrative processes more efficiently and at the same time to methodically upgrade the daily courses, a corresponding competence must be developed: Digital Change Experts (DCE).

Objectives


The DCE´s accompany their schools in all pending questions of digitalization: give impulses on how integration into the school development plan can take place; how teaching material and events can be digitally enhanced; keep an eye on current technical developments; offer coaching and training courses on how to use digital tools and administrative software and are involved in building digital networks and partnerships.
So the capacity building project “Digital Change Expert” aims to equip participants with competencies that will enable them to take an active role in digital school development.

Training key areas


The occupational standards for Digital Change Experts are set out in five key areas:
Duration and Teaching Methods:
  • The training will be offered via e-learning, face-to-face workshops, and self-learning sequences. The training will be finalized by a thesis that serves as groundwork for a digital concept for a selected school.
  • Training’s overall duration is around one year and the overall workload for a participant will be 240 hours.
