Abstract

This paper discusses vocational training within the context of SMEs and presents the approach of the ELEVATE project which aims to counter the issues encountered by previous efforts as revealed in the study of related work on effective vocational training and e-Training strategies. Moreover, the ELEVATE vocational training approach is presented and rationalized based on specific principles for the effective design of vocational e-Training. The paper concludes by presenting the blended learning and competence-based training aspects of the ELEVATE pedagogic methodology.
