TECHLOG O.5.7 - Joint proposal for a new shared qualification standard
The need to define standards for advanced training and licensing and qualification certification in the (trans)port and logistics field was among the main objectives of the project.
In the context of the TECHLOG project, stakeholders from port and transport companies and institutions from all partner countries were invited to take part in a capacity-building path, through which they were to exchange views and knowledge to build, supportedby the project partners and two external experts, a joint proposal for a common qualification standard for port and transport workers.
To this end, two preparatory online meetings, one in-person workshop, and one final recapitulatory online session were held.
The target audience for participation in the consultancy included:
1. Public officials with an administrative background and expertise in standardization and safety, such as:
a) State control officials in the shipping sector.
b) Harbormasters, often tasked with overseeing port operations in various countries.
2. Personnel involved in port operations, including:
c) Labor inspectorate officials responsible for health and safety regulations.
d) Port Authority representatives.
3. Professionals in logistics and transportation, such as:
e) Road safety officials.
f) Health and safety experts.
The resulting joint qualification standard is contained in Deliverable O.5.7, and was presented at the TECHLOG Final Conference, which took place in Cagliari on December 1st, 2023.
TECHLOG - O.5.6 Video tutorials
The project developed and released 3 videos showing the opportunities and benefits related to the use of advanced simulators and related training programs in port and transport activities.
The video tutorials developed in the framework of the project offer several positive aspects for workers and businesses, contributing to effective learning, skill development, and overall productivity. Tutorials are made available:
- on the project collaborative platform https://techlogproject.com.
- on the official TECHLOG youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@techlogproject7406
- in the official TECHLOG website (Library/videos area)
They were also shared in the TECHLOG social channels: https://linktr.ee/techlog_project
The 3 tutorials focus on:
- simulation opportunities for truck drivers;
- simulation opportunities for quay crane operators;
- training for innovation trainers.
YEP MED Development of New Curricula Materials
The proposed approach aims to implement complementary/additional VET courses within the existing institutional framework to achieve concrete results in a shorter period of time. These courses are developed after analysing the labour market skills gaps and in cooperation with public and private stakeholders to respond quickly to urgent needs (quick impact). This deliverable contains the training programs developed and adapted for implementation in the different participating Port Logistics Communities.
YEP MED Placement in Companies Strategy
This deliverable serves as a showcase of the strategies adopted by the YEP MED project to promote the placement in companies of the project's trainees, specifically by Partner nº3 , the Beirut Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture. The strategies aim at boosting the employability of participants through methods such as job fairs, coaching sessions, and a digital job platform.
YEP MED Training of Trainers and Talent Program
This deliverable contains the documentation related to the Training of Trainers (ToT) and Talent activities carried out by the Lead Beneficiary (BEN) within the YEP MED project. Both types of activities involved participants from all of the project’s Port Logistic Communities (PLC). While ToTs were crucial to ensure that each PLC had well prepared trainers, the Talent programme offered a unique opportunity for students and teachers/mentors from each PLC to further their knowledge and skills and create long-lasting international connections. Additionally to the scheduled ToTs, BEN offered individual support and additional support to the partners’ whenever further training was required to carry out the courses throughout the project. The names of participants have been eliminated from this public version of the deliverable for privacy reasons.
YEP MED Identification of Professional Profiles
These deliverables contribute to further precising at a regional scale the professional profiles in the fields of transport and logistics that cannot be covered or that have growth potential. An analysis of sub-sectors identified and labor market needs is developed to attain this. The present studies refer to the Barcelona, Civitavecchia, Beirut, Valencia, and Aqaba Port Logistics Communities.
YEP MED ERP for Simulated Companies
This deliverable provides an overview of the educational module developed within the Click and Cargo Entreprise Resource Planning (ERP) for the conduction of the YEP MED international trade training courses. It showcases the functionalities and most important features of the platform, which has revolutionized the way of training students in the field of freight forwarding and logistics operations. Simulation ensures a practical, hands-on experience, better preparing users to successfully incorporate the workforce.
