The BRIDGES Network of CoVE targets the development of aquaculture VET and Higher VET transnational platform, with a strong emphasis on the modernisation and digitalisation of work-based learning and apprenticeship systems, within four north European countries producing finfish. VET delivery teams will be developed in partnership with the industry (fish producers and technology supply companies) including SMEs and larger companies.
Work based learning pedagogies and digital learning resources and tools will be developed that allow each country to create the ‘blend’ of work-based and alternative methods of VET delivery, to suit its own priorities, resources, national VET systems and stage of aquaculture VET development. This guideline can be used by anyone who is planning to apply for funding to create or further strengthen an existing network.
Please note that this guideline is based on creating a specific networking event for women in the fisheries and aquaculture sector, but you may use the elements showcased in this guideline based on your local context.
In preparing this guideline we chose to use the experiences we have gained along the way combined with inspiration from Open AI – ChatGPT*, to create the best plug and play. In addition to these points, we will encourage you to use search engines (like google) or Open AI to find good solutions and sources.
