Digital Tools for Learning and Validation in VET and WBL: Training Program for VET Teachers, Trainers and Mentors (Dig4VET) is an Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships for VET-project aimed to improve skills and competences of vocational teachers, trainers and mentors in using digital tools in education process. Main goal is to raise awareness of a variety of digital tools and technologies that can be used in vocational education and training (VET) and workbased learning (WBL) settings for both classroom and distance learning. Dig4VET proposes empowering VET teachers, trainers and mentors/WBL tutors with the support of a training program for VET teachers, trainers and mentors which can be implemented by VET institutions (local level), by national continuous professional development (CPD) systems and internationally as Erasmus+ courses. In this publication we communicate a review of digital skills of VET teachers and trainers in partner organisations (VET schools) and partner countries, including a report on the use of SELFIE in Latvia, Lithuania and Portugal. We also suggest recommendations for future training programs in digital pedagogy for VET teachers, trainers and WBL tutors. The recommendations section is initialised with an overview of competence-based approaches in advanced CPD which may be specially designed for VET Teachers, Trainers and Potential Mentors to enhance the use of digital tools for teaching, learning, assessment and validation. The report is a multidimensional information resource regarding digital competences of VET teachers, trainers, mentors, and it will be useful for VET policy and decision makers, VET school management, researchers, and particularly – for VET teacher trainers. It can also be of interest and use for other sectors of education (general education, higher education, adult education).
