2. Erasmus+ KA122-VET European mobility project for teaching and technical staff. 

Project title: VET-WOOD - VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN WOODWORKING

Period of execution: 01/10/2023 - 31/03/2024.

First mobility: 17 to 22 April 2023. 

Video summary: https://youtu.be/GZRHm3iLeg4

Second mobility: 13 to 17 November 2023.

At the beginning of 2022, we applied to take part in an Erasmus+ Vocational Training mobility project for learning through observation, which was awarded to our school through the Spanish Service for the Internationalisation of Education (SEPIE).

The application to take part in this European project was in line with the implementation of objective 6 of the 2022 Work Plan "Participate in international programmes, projects and initiatives", which aimed to increase the presence of this CRN in international projects and activities within the wood, furniture and cork and vocational training sector.

The main objective of the project was to offer teachers a placement in vocational training centres in other countries in order to update both their methodological and professional competences. The aim was to implement the competences acquired in the CRN classrooms and to improve the quality of the vocational training provided to students, in order to improve their competitiveness in the labour market.

The project was carried out in collaboration with the Fondazione ENAIP Lombardia, at its facilities in Cantù. It is a network of vocational schools in Northern Italy with extensive experience in Erasmus KA1 projects (mobility of students in Higher Education and VT) over several years. This partner was chosen on the basis of the principles of quality in vocational training and its strong links with companies in the sector. 

3. Design and implementation of a virtual reality simulator for the certificate of professional competence "Assembly and Installation of Wooden Constructions" and pilot testing.

Contracted organisation: Innoarea Projects

The simulator allows students studying for this certificate or other related studies to realistically experience the tasks of assembling and installing wooden structures; tasks which, due to their special characteristics, are difficult to reproduce in the workshop, both because of their dimensions and because of the characteristics regarding work at height.

It is open and free of charge, for educational uses and without a licence fee, so it will be available for use mainly in vocational training centres. The only requirement for its use is the purchase of virtual reality headsets by the centre.

The product's user interface allows learning situation scenarios to be selected with examples of timber construction projects involving setting out parameters, checking measurements and construction methods: jointing and anchoring systems, construction elements, types of fittings, hand tools, portable machine tools, safety standards, applied to:

- Construction of light and heavy frame houses.

- Construction of log or wooden block house walls.

- Construction using large structural timber and timber derivative products.

Once inside a virtual scenario, it is possible to interact with the objects, in practice or exam mode, using the devices that form part of a virtual reality set: headset and Touch controllers.

3. Energising the labour market to adapt it to new needs.

The following activities were carried out in order to meet this objective:

1. Visits to companies in the sector, which received an information pack on the activities carried out in this CRN.

2. Online presentations on our activities related to innovation and experimentation on new materials to improve and modernise the sector.

3. Information on the CRN's digital media for career guidance and job searching.

To facilitate the collection of information from the companies contacted, we developed a form, based on a registration form, for our visits to companies and/or organisations. We collaborated in this task with the Guidance and Job Search Department. 

4. Report analysing the training needs of the wood, furniture and cork production sector.

Contracted organisation: AIDIMME

The main objective of the report, which involved the collaboration of the CRN for production, Carpentry and Furniture in Encinas Reales (Córdoba), was to create and implement a system for collecting information to identify the professional skills required at the national level by the wood, cork, carpentry and furniture industry. Basically, the aim was to provide high-quality information that would make it possible to adapt the training offered to make it more efficient and more in line with the needs of the sector.

All this information is essential in order to adapt the sectoral training offered and thus obtain highly qualified professionals who meet the needs of the sector and who contribute to generating high-quality employment and improving companies' productivity and competitiveness.

First phase:

- Characterisation of the industry and mapping the agents in the sector.

- Identification of the qualification needs detected for the agents.

- Identification of the training needs of the teaching staff, especially in terms of technologies not yet implemented in the sector, but which, although still in their infancy, will be implemented in the near future in companies and may give rise to new qualifications.

- Qualification needs indicators.

Second phase:

- Exploratory research with actors in the sector.

- In-depth interviews of about 30 minutes with companies and institutions (educational centres, business associations and organisations and teaching staff).

Third phase:

- Conclusions and final report. 

5. National map of the wood, furniture and cork production sector.

Contracted organisation: AIDIMME

The sector map is an essential instrument for understanding the industry by sector. This map focuses on the three areas of the wood, furniture and cork production sector. If offers detailed and complete information about the reality of the economic sector to which it refers, it is the quantitative and qualitative representation of the main data and factors that define and delimit a productive sector, providing transparency and relevant information and identifying the sector's key elements.

The map, which was drawn up with the collaboration of the CRN for production, Carpentry and Furniture in Encinas Reales (Córdoba), includes the following:

• Active companies: 10,332
• Technology parks: 29
• Business associations or organisations: 111
• Educational or vocational training institutions:148
• Trade fairs and events: 30

A national database was created focusing on the professional areas and the group of professionals in the wood, furniture and cork sectors and their distribution by province and autonomous community. The companies, technology parks, associations or business organisations are those associated with the National Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE) linked to the sector. This database includes: name, postal address, telephone number, and web address, email address where available and geographic location.

The database resulting from this sectoral map has been integrated, by means of an interactive digital map, in the respective websites of both CRNs and, in the future, in the aforementioned National Wood, Furniture and Cork Observatory, which allows the information obtained to be filtered and viewed.

Finally, the data was analysed and a statistical report was produced. 

6. Meeting with other national reference centres and participation in working groups.

1. Participation in the "Methodological Innovation" Working Group.

The CRN for Wood and Cork Transformation and Installation collaborated in the "Methodological Innovation" Working Group led by the Observation, Innovation and Research Department of the CRN for Commercial Logistics and Transport Management in Zaragoza.

This activity was framed within priority objective 5 of the 2022 Annual Work Plan: "Strengthen collaboration within the CRN network", which sought to:

- Provide tools that promote innovation and work with agile methodologies in the Vocational Training and Training for Employment system.

- Help the CRNs to incorporate agile methodologies, creativity and innovation as working systems.

- Shift the focus of their work from a predictive to an adaptive approach.

- Work with short customer-/user-centred interaction cycles.

- Train VT teachers in these methodologies. 

2. Participation in the Technical Seminar "Innovation in the CRN Ecosystem".

The Technical Seminar "Innovation in the CRN Ecosystem" took place in Zaragoza on 15 December 2022, and it was organised by the National Reference Centre for Commercial Logistics and Transport Management and the VT Innovation Centre in Aragon. The meeting was attended by most of the directors of the CRNs, in order to present the activities and projects of interest or that could be transferred to other CRNs. Aurelio Delgado, our director, and Celia Ruiz, participated online on our behalf and presented our innovative MOOC "Digital Teaching for VT'", as an example of good practice. 

3. Meeting with other CRNs.

These meetings, scheduled since 2021 in the annual Work Plans, aimed to strengthen collaboration on vocational training and employability, or other cross-curricular subjects with related NRCs, creating synergies that lead to the exchange of good practices and collaborative experiences.

The relationship with our homonymous CRN, the CRN for Production, Carpentry and Furniture in Encinas Reales (Córdoba), was ongoing throughout the year. Frequent meetings were held to discuss our joint activities: the Training Needs Report, which together with the Sector Map, on which we also collaborated, was the seed for the future sector Observatory.

7. Participation as a stakeholder in the Erasmus+ KA22 "SMARTRAIN" project.

The SMARTRAIN project partners met at our premises during the 3rd student mobility which was part of the project with students from Belgium and Italy. This meeting was followed by a visit to our centre's facilities.

In addition, we were invited to participate in a meeting between teachers from European vocational training centres to discuss the present and future of vocational training.

8. Participation in the FIMMA+MADERALIA 2022 international sector trade fair.

In order to increase the CRN's presence in international projects and activities and to become part of a network of centres of reference and excellence in Europe within the wood and furniture and vocational training sectors, we participated with a stand at FIMMA+Maderalia, a biannual international trade fair, a benchmark in the sector, which brings together the latest developments in industrial materials and technologies and which took place from 29 March to 1 April 2022.

LABORA, the Valencian Employment and Training Service had a stand with its training centres specialised in providing vocational training for the group of professionals in the wood, furniture and cork sector: occupied by staff from this CRN and the CIPFP Catarroja.

We collaborated with the CIPFP Catarroja in designing the audiovisual elements and graphic panels that were exhibited at the stand: 

- Relational map of the VT offered in the sector.

- Vocational training at the service of companies.

- Innovation in vocational training.

- Fold-out leaflet detailing the wood and furniture vocational training courses offered.

Likewise, during FIMMA-MADERALIA and on its premises, as part of the programmed activities, the 5th Wood and Furniture Microcluster "Vocational Training at the Service of Companies" was held on 30 March 2022, in a space provided by the Association of Carpentry and Related Industries in the Comunitat Valenciana (ASEMAD).

9. Preparation of two learning and evaluation guides.

Contracted organisation: AIDIMME

In compliance with objective 8 of the Annual Work Plan 2022, two learning and assessment guides were prepared for two certificates of professional competence for the group of professionals working in the wood, furniture and cork sector, pending publication:
