THE CELINE PROJECT

Work in the ‘New Economy’ is complex

There is a complex profile shaped of the 21st century worker:
European citizens should be able to adapt successfully to the continuous restructuring of routines, roles and hierarchies in the ‘New Economy’ workplace. One of the challenges on the European labour market is the requirement of literacy skills.
The CELINE project aims to bring together the technical and literacy dimensions of the ‘New Economy’ workplace through content integrated literacy learning.

The CELINE project conception is based on the assumption that vocational education and training is more than vocational specialism and technical knowledge.

VET teachers need support in order to become aware of the workplace literacy practices into the vocation content they teach to their pupils or trainees.

VET teachers trainers also need to approach the emerging needs of the VET teachers during the initial and in-service training.

CELINE attends to a set of identified key competences and skills needed by VET teachers.

CELINE frames a training curriculum for pre-service and in-service training in VET.

CELINE provides a set of resource materials designed to support VET teachers to adapt their teaching to the workplace literacy needs of their pupils and trainees and to the job requirements in companies.

Definition of literacy
Literacy primarily means the ability to read and write.
Related to educational systems and the demands of the current labour markets, literacy adds up to more than just reading and writing.
It is the access to participate in the knowledge and information society for literacy contains the skill to deal analysing, constituting or abstracting with the language. Literacy means the qualified handling of forms, instructions or schedules, which contents both the receptive and productive abilities.

Definition of New Economy
The term `New Economy` includes not only the emerging trendsetting industries of technology and digital information and communication, but also the structural change of the whole national economics in each country. There are modified forms of organisation and an internationalisation of markets, which constitute new forms of utilising the human resources for reformative offers of service and technical occupations.
