Vocational training project with WaBeQ successfully completed

The project "WaBeQ - Competence Workshop" dealt with the question of the extent to which the training of young people with special support needs can be appropriately designed with the help of digital media. For this purpose, in joint development work with the training staff of the Waller Beschäftigungs- und Qualifizierungsgesellschaft (WabeQ), the essential elements of the vocational science concept of the competence workshop for a work process and competence-oriented as well as digitally supported vocational training were implemented.
Protective equipment for floor layers

WaBeQ is, among other things, an extra-company or inter-company training center in Bremen and offers young people with increased support needs training positions in the skilled trades. Currently, these are the apprenticeships bicycle mechanic, floor layer and vehicle painter. The training is accompanied by supplementary support and remedial instruction as well as social pedagogical support and supervision. As part of the project, a vocational field of activity structure was first created and corresponding field of activity descriptions were drawn up as an example for the occupation of floor layer. On this basis, a digitally supported learning and work task was then developed for this training occupation and corresponding didactic application scenarios were designed. Unfortunately, the final testing and optimization of the digitally supported learning and work task could not be implemented due to the pandemic.

During the entire duration of the project, it was necessary to identify and take into account the prerequisites for implementing the digitally supported learning and work task, both on the part of the training personnel and on the part of the trainees. In addition to the media technology and media didactics training of the WaBeQ trainers, this included support for the institution in setting up a technical infrastructure for barrier-free use of the digital media and tools developed.
