DI-VET: Diversity & Inclusion for VET Professionals

About the project DI-VET focuses on making vocational education and training (VET) — and especially work-based learning (WBL) and apprenticeships — more inclusive. While laws against discrimination exist, many students still face barriers in entering the labor market because of ethnicity, gender, age, disability, religion, or other factors.

This project helps close that gap by giving VET professionals and small and medium sized enterprise (SMEs) as WBL providers the tools they need to support diversity and inclusion. The goal is to ensure that all learners can successfully complete VET programs and transition smoothly into employment.

What we do

  • Develop practical training and tools for VET teachers, trainers, and SME mentors.

  • Support SMEs in overcoming bias and creating inclusive work environments for apprentices.

  • Introduce a certification system (micro-credentials) to formalize D&I practices in WBL.
