Trainer’s Guide “Equal Access to Vocational Education and Training: Inclusive Learning in VET Providers”.

Inclusive vocational education and training requires not only an accessible environment, but also educators equipped with up-to-date knowledge and practical tools for working with learners who have diverse needs.

Trainer’s Guide “Equal Access to Vocational Education and Training: Inclusive Learning in VET Providers”. was developed to support representatives of pilot VET providers who are implementing inclusive approaches and sharing the knowledge gained with their colleagues. Its purpose is to help trainers deliver training sessions, organise professional learning for adults, facilitate group work, and provide mentoring support on inclusive learning and equal access to vocational education and training.

The publication contains training modules, practical exercises, group-work materials, discussion questions, and methodological recommendations for organising adult learning. The materials can be used during training sessions, in-house professional learning for teaching staff, mentoring meetings, professional learning communities, and other forms of professional development.

Particular attention is paid to developing a contemporary understanding of inclusion, creating a barrier-free educational environment, interagency cooperation, supporting learners with diverse needs, and the practical aspects of organising an inclusive educational process in VET providers. The Guide will be a useful resource for heads, teaching staff, vocational training instructors, psychologists, support specialists, and everyone working to develop inclusive vocational education and training in Ukraine.

The project “Inclusive Vocational Education and Training: Improving Training for Veterans and People with Disabilities” is implemented by the National Assembly of People with Disabilities of Ukraine (NAPD) in cooperation with Christoffel-Blindenmission Christian Blind Mission e.V. (CBM) with financial support from the European Union, Germany, Poland, Estonia, and Denmark, as part of the Skills4Recovery Multi-Donor Initiative, implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and Solidarity Fund PL (SFPL).
