VET4EYE – Transforming VET for disadvantaged youth empowerment and employment

VET4YE (Transforming VET for Disadvantaged Youth Empowerment and Employment) is an Erasmus+ KA220-VET cooperation partnership project aimed at modernising vocational education and training (VET) systems across Europe. The project focuses on making VET more attractive, inclusive, and aligned with labour market needs, particularly for disadvantaged young people.
It brings together a consortium of European organisations to design innovative, technology-enhanced training approaches, including the use of Virtual Reality (VR), digital platforms, and micro-credentials. The project combines research, curriculum development, pilot
implementation, and dissemination activities to create a scalable and transferable model for VET innovation.
Main Objectives

• Enhance the quality and attractiveness of VET curricula by integrating innovative methodologies and digital tools.
• Improve employability of disadvantaged youth (18–25), including migrants, refugees, Roma, and NEETs, by developing practical and job-oriented skills.
• Strengthen VET teachers’ competences, particularly in the use of emerging technologies such as VR and digital learning environments.
• Promote inclusive and accessible education, ensuring equal opportunities for vulnerable groups to access training and employment pathways.
• Develop a European VET quality framework, including certification systems based on micro-credentials and digital badges.
