<< Objectives >>TRAINER aims to achieve a shared model for VET needs in Ecological Restoration, identify knowledge from educators/users, that each currently use and may use in the future; detect gaps in knowledge production and transfer; contribute to designing effective vocational training programs that integrate the specificities of the different socio-ecological systems, scientific and technical skills, including language, inclusion and cultural barriers, within a European framework that guarantees quality.<< Implementation >>3 successive activities will provide the core project inputs: survey, focus groups and workshop. A 4th will provide the analysis and recommendations for the final project guidelines on VET improvements in ecological restoration. Finally, two parallel activities will provide quality project management -also integrating KPIs and long term impact measurement-, communication, dissemination and exploitation of activities and results.<< Results >>The project will provide: 1. Identification of needs on training in ecological restoration in the private and public sectors; 2. Outline of a common model of training in restoration ecology; 3. Report summarizing the results of the Knowledge Exchange workshop; 4. Summary of the results and recommendations on training needs in ecological restoration into Guidelines and a manuscript for a scientific paper. 5. Communication and exploitation outcome materials.
