The EdUP Project<\/span> has conducted a course titled \u201cDesigning Educational Programs for Plumbing Professions.\u201d<\/em> <\/b>The course curriculum was developed at the request of the Ministry of Education and<\/b> Science of Ukraine (MoES)<\/span> to implement EU recommendations<\/span> and international best practices<\/span> on introducing modularity into vocational education programs.<\/p>

Participants included representatives from 26 vocational education institutions<\/span> across Ukraine. The training was led by Nataliia Protsenko<\/span>, an expert from the MoES Reform Support Team (RST)<\/em>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThe new Law on Vocational Education has changed the approaches to both learning content and the design of educational pathways. This course helps participants master the skills needed to develop educational programs so that institutions can quickly adapt to the new regulations. We take into account labor market needs, learners\u2019 opportunities, and institutional resources \u2014 creating flexible learning pathways.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Throughout the course, participants engaged in both theoretical and practical sessions<\/strong>, where they:
\ud83d\udd39 Studied EU Council and Parliament recommendations<\/strong> in vocational education: National Qualifications Framework levels, transparent qualification design, micro-credentials for lifelong learning, use of ECTS in VET, short-term learning, and sustainable development goals.
\ud83d\udd39 Gained experience applying current legal and regulatory frameworks<\/strong> in education and VET.
\ud83d\udd39 Learned to use ISCO<\/strong> (International Standard Classification of Occupations) and ESCO<\/strong> (European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations) tools for designing educational programs.
\ud83d\udd39 Practiced unified approaches to designing educational pathways<\/strong>: creating training modules, defining micro-credentials, allocating learning workloads, and selecting program components.
\ud83d\udd39 Acquired practical skills in using MS Excel<\/strong> to reduce time spent developing educational programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the hands-on sessions<\/strong>, teachers worked with a program design tool (\u201cconstructor\u201d) to develop sample educational programs and practiced providing consultations on curriculum design.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThe course is important because the new standard requires us to update our existing programs. I wanted to understand how the program design tool works within the new law\u2019s requirements. I\u2019ve been creating training plans for 12 years, and doing everything manually made the process very complicated. With this constructor, we can now design programs more efficiently and faster. I\u2019m thrilled with this approach \u2014 and what\u2019s more, it can be applied across different professions.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI train future plumbing and sanitary system installers. This training is particularly valuable because it brings together many like-minded professionals, new ideas, and a fresh perspective on education. Developing educational programs is a new and powerful experience for me \u2014 previously, I worked with ready-made curricula, but now I can see how they\u2019re built from the ground up. It\u2019s especially useful that the program we are creating during the course reflects the realities of today\u2019s labor market.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
