DGvet-30 Third Newsletter
Over the past six months, the DGVET-30 partnership has taken major steps toward transforming vocational education across Europe. By combining international exchanges with dissemination events, our partners have worked closely to equip students with the essential digital and green skills required for tomorrow's job market.
This third issue highlights the strength of our international community, featuring inspiring cross-border collaborations and job-shadowing visits that bring fresh technical perspectives to vocational training. Alongside these partnerships, we share our newly developed learning resources and didactic units designed to integrate practical sustainability into VET curricula.
Finally, you will discover the practical tools we have deployed for live energy monitoring, giving institutions real-time data to drive sustainable practices. We invite you to explore these achievements and join us as our European network continues to grow.
International Exchange & Knowledge Sharing
From 4-12 November 2025 students from Deltion College explored the DGVET-30 learning resources and exchanged ideas on renewable energy education. The visit strengthened international cooperation and inspired future collaborative projects between vocational schools.
On 23 April, Vitoria-Gasteiz hosted the Project Dissemination Day, bringing together European VET experts to exchange ideas and showcase successful projects. Among the highlights was the ERASMUS+ KA220 DG-VET30 project, which sparked strong interest for its innovative approach to green and digital vocational education.
On 14 January 2026, the Erasmus+ KA220 DGVET-30 project was introduced to students at Karaman/Merkez Temizel-Ünlü Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School. Participants explored the project's goals, activities, and expected impact on green and digital vocational education.
Learning Resources
IMPLEMENTATION OF GOOD-PRACTICE PACKAGES
This overview takes a modern look at the skills and knowledge VET learners need to thrive in the fast-growing renewable energy sector. It begins by examining the current training offer in renewable energy technologies, highlighting how educational institutions are adapting to industry demand. Building on this foundation, it identifies emerging professional profiles shaped by the ongoing shift toward green energy and outlines targeted recommendations for improvement to strengthen and modernize future VET training programmes.
The Repertoire of Good Practices offers a curated collection of successful VET initiatives designed to boost energy efficiency and inspire practical action across vocational institutions. By highlighting proven models and innovative approaches, this resource provides educators and institutions with a clear blueprint for integrating sustainability directly into technical education.
At its core, the collection focuses on deploying best practices to improve overall energy performance while building long-term capacity among both teachers and learners. Through engaging learning activities that bring energy topics to life, these solutions are structured to be easily disseminated and replicated, ensuring effective sustainability practices can take root in VET centers across Europe.
These educational units focus on the digitalization of energy management in school environments. They provide VET students with the technical knowledge to introduce renewable energy production, specifically through photovoltaic systems, and master various methods for real-time monitoring of consumption and output. This includes practical guidance on deploying professional monitoring networks and open-source platforms, culminating in a detailed case study on the technical and financial steps needed to replace a traditional gas boiler with a highly efficient heat pump system.
The materials empower students to think critically, take action, and design real sustainability solutions. They also introduce practical strategies — from interactive workshops to inspiring talks — that help remove barriers and boost women’s participation in technical and industrial training.
We amplify the voices of women who chose the industrial path and are shaping its future.
Through the experiences of current students, interns, and graduates already working in industry, you’ll discover their paths, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the opportunities they’ve unlocked. These stories highlight how inclusive vocational education bridges the gender gap across Europe. From gaining practical confidence to securing key technical roles, their successes demonstrate how female representation drives diversity and unlocks new career possibilities in the green economy.
