The INclusive TrAIners project has officially begun work on its first development phase, focused on the creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) for Continuing Vocational Education trainers (CVET).

This milestone represents a key step toward the project’s overall goal: supporting continuous vocational education professionals in the ethical, inclusive, and pedagogically sound use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies in their teaching practices.

During this initial phase, the international consortium is collaborating on the design and planning of open educational materials that will be accessible, reusable, and adaptable. These resources are aimed at strengthening trainers’ competencies by providing practical tools that help them integrate digital innovation into their training activities, while maintaining a strong focus on inclusion, equity, and accessibility.

The development of these Open Educational Resources responds to the growing need for high-quality materials that support the digital transformation of the vocational education sector, while also promoting open access to knowledge and fostering cooperation among educational institutions across Europe.

Throughout this phase, project partners will work closely together to define key content areas, the pedagogical structure, and the methodological approaches of the resources. The aim is to ensure that the materials developed are useful both for experienced trainers and for those who are beginning to explore the use of new technologies in the classroom.

With the start of this work, INclusive TrAIners reinforces its commitment to more inclusive, innovative, and learner-centred education, contributing to the continuous improvement of vocational education and training in Europe.
