Objectives
Develop an Integrated AI in Mentoring Framework: The project aims to introduce an AI-powered framework into work-based learning (WBL) mentoring. This framework will empower mentors and apprentices by enhancing digital skills, promoting growth mindset, and preparing them for the demands of Industry 4.0.
Dissemination of project results
To ensure long-term impact, the project will disseminate findings, conduct an international gathering, and establish a resource library. These activities will engage stakeholders and facilitate the adoption of the AI in Mentoring framework on a national scale, multiplying its benefits within the vocational education and training sector.
Establish national teams of trainers
The project will recruit and train national teams of trainers who will deliver the AI in Mentoring program across partner countries. This will foster a community of AI-skilled mentors and prepare them to integrate AI insights effectively in their work with apprentices.
Pilot and assess the AI Mentoring Programme with WBL mentors
The program will be piloted with 60 WBL mentors across Bulgaria, Spain, and Belgium. This phase will assess the practical impact of AI literacy and mentoring on apprentices’ skill development and mentors’ teaching capabilities.The gamification will provide a unique and memorable experiential learning environment, in which students will develop entrepreneurship knowledge and entrepreneurial skills and mindset at the same time.
Create a comprehensive AI in Mentoring Training Programme
Create a comprehensive AI in Mentoring Training Programme: This objective involves designing and implementing a training program for WBL mentors, focusing on two primary areas: AI Literacy and AI Mentoring. Through this, mentors will gain essential skills to incorporate AI tools in their guidance practices, benefiting both their professional growth and apprentice skill development.
