Needs, Context and Use
Original goals for the PROVE project centred on a transfer of knowledge, experience and resources to allow the Productive Learning process to be transferred from general education to vocational training and to countries where the concept was less well known. This resource provides a practical guide for those using the Productive Learning process in VET, providing both thematic introductions to key topics as well as access to a series of useful materials for use in delivering PL. This is a practical resource that is freely accessible online, in English, German and Finnish, and for which a Creative Commons licensing model has been adopted. The resource could easily support those looking to introduce one or more aspects of Productive Learning into vocational education and training delivery, including in the workplace.
