– AFOS IN MEXICO: THE AEDUAL PROJECT –
With our AEDUAL project, we worked in partnership with the Mexican associations COPARMEX Querétaro and León as well as Industriales Jalisco (CCIJ) on the introduction of a high-quality dual vocational education and training system. The aim was to sustainably improve the employability of young people and to strengthen the competitiveness of companies.
Here’s what we’ve achieved:
- 612 training companies now offer dual training opportunities.
- 2010 Students started their dual university education.
- In each state of the Central Bajio West region, an Entrepreneurial Council for Dual Education has been established. These committees work systematically and documented in four working groups per Council: (1) Market Analysis and Growth, (2) Quality, (3) Universities, (4) Economics.
- Comprehensive minimum standards and guidelines for dual training programs have been developed in each state, taking into account both national and regional legislation and structure.
- AEDual has initiated the development and implementation of a fully online, modular platform for dual training .
- A business intelligence platform has been created to capture and document the demand for higher education and dual training of companies in real time.
