ANUBIS

Qualification in funeral services

90% of the funeral service sector in Europe consists of small and medium enterprises (SME’s). This is one reason why there are very little structured education and training opportunities in this area.

Staff development takes place mainly through “learning by doing”. Since this work area is still a big taboo subject, the very central aspect of psychological support and care of bereaved families is often underestimated. The ANUBIS project responds to this urgent need for training and also tries using distance learning to overcome geographical boundaries.

Results

Research on careers and skills required in the funeral industry
Design and development of educational materials
multimedia processing towards a 360h tele-learning course

Short description:
What does quality mean for the apprenticeship and how can it be improved? This crucial question of the dual education system is approached here.

On the basis of interviews with apprentices, instructors and vocational teachers, five precise fields of action have been defined and models for practical solutions have been worked out and realized.

Fields of action in theory and practice:

giving assistance with the choice of occupation
building up basis competences for lifelong learning
creating inspiring learning environments
qualifiying instructors and vocational teachers
cooperating to maintain quality assurance

In this book, the authors give a first draft of the actual situation and the theoretical bases for each field of action in order to provide a basis for the presentation of the practical solutions.

The enclosed CD-ROM contains checklists and guidelines for the fields of action, as well as learning tasks to enhance self-dependent learning abilities. It also features a new presentation mode of the scientific software GABEK-WinRelan for the readers to explore the complete data of the project’s base study.

This book was developed within the EQUAL project “AQUA – Apprenticeship Quality“.

AQUA

Apprenticeship Quality

The main objective of this developing partnership is the opening and stabilising of the labour market for disadvantaged youngsters.

This partnership is to help entrepreneurs, trainers and teachers in vocational schools deal with such disadvantaged youngsters and to make use of hidden potential. The network between vocational schools and firms / companies should be strengthened. Through a better co operation between firm and school youngsters should be the more supported to successfully complete their apprenticeship. The description of vocational patterns in retail dealing with its competencies should help aid a more effective advertising among youngsters and a more widespread selection procedure within trade and commerce.

Hafelekar Consulting provided a baseline study, applying the GABEK method, as a precondition for further activities. Hafelekar was further responsible for public relations and dissemination of the products.
