DESSA Development of Soft Skills through Apprenticeships

DESSA project aims to develop an apprenticeship scheme for the acquisition of soft skills by students in upper secondary and higher vocational education and training.
The project will produce three core intellectual outputs that are:
IO1 Apprenticeship scheme for the development of soft skills and competences
IO2 Trainers guide
IO3 Web platform for the assessment of soft skills
The direct target group of the project is VET trainers and companies involved in apprenticeship programmes, yet, the final beneficiaries are students enrolled in upper secondary and higher VET schools and centres.
The project is implemented by 6 partners from 5 countries (Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Poland and Lithuania), representing four VET schools, one university and one adult training company.
