Tilskot til kompetanseutvikling i fag- og yrkesopplæring (dekom yrkesfag)

This grant supports competence development for actors in vocational education and training in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. Training companies and collaborative organizations for training companies can apply for funding for competence development activities, while vocational schools receive funding directly based on a distribution key. The grant prioritizes activities that involve collaboration between schools and training companies or examination boards, such as hospitalization arrangements. Priority areas include competence development needs resulting from the renewal of the Knowledge Promotion reform and new curriculum, subject-specific competence needs in various subject areas, and cross-disciplinary competence needs including assessment practices, participation, and learning environments for inclusive practice. Examples of eligible activities include joint gatherings between schools and working life with vocational subjects as themes, instructors in training companies hospitating in schools to learn about assessment practices and guidance, and reciprocal hospitation between instructors and vocational teachers to gain understanding of each other's work environments. Hospitation should be approximately two to five days, with grant recipients receiving 3000 NOK per day.
