The AI VET project offers practical and inclusive resources for vocational education professionals across Europe.
The European project AI VET has officially launched, marking an important step forward in helping educators across Europe prepare for the future of work. At a time when digitalisation and artificial intelligence are reshaping labour markets at unprecedented speed, the project aims to provide vocational education and training (VET) professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to adapt—and lead.
AI VET is built on a simple idea: teachers and trainers shouldn’t need to be AI experts to prepare students for an AI-powered world. What they do need are the right tools—clear, accessible, and relevant to their context. That’s where this project comes in.
Across Europe, VET providers are facing a growing pressure to update training offers in line with emerging skills. Traditional qualifications and feedback mechanisms often lag behind market demands. Teachers are looking for support—not just in understanding what AI is, but in knowing how to use it practically, ethically, and confidently in the classroom.
To address this, the AI VET consortium brings together seven partners from Spain, Italy, Poland, and Belgium, including VET schools, NGOs, SMEs, and e-learning specialists. Together, they are co-developing tools and resources designed specifically for non-expert educators working in a fast-changing environment.
An education platform for teachers, built by beachers
At the heart of the project is the AI VET digital platform, now officially online:
The platform serves as a multilingual hub where users can access a growing library of open-access training content. All materials are available in English, Spanish, Italian, and Polish, and have been designed with beginner users in mind.
Visitors to the platform can already explore:
- The results of a cross-country mapping of needs in the VET sector
- A growing series of AI training modules for teachers and trainers
- Supporting materials and guidelines for practical implementation
- Information on the partners and the European frameworks that guide the project (DigComp2.2 and EntreComp)
Everything is open, free, and ready to use—whether you are a VET trainer, a curriculum designer, or a policy stakeholder.
What’s Coming Next
Over the course of the project, the AI VET platform will host seven training modules, covering topics such as:
- How to Use AI in the Classroom
- AI Basics for VET Teachers
- Using Data to Improve Teaching
- Creating Personalised Learning with AI
- Making Work Easier with AI Tools
- New Skills and Topics for the Future
- Bringing Innovation to VET with AI
Each module is structured around learning outcomes, real-life case studies, and references to key digital and entrepreneurial competence frameworks, ensuring that the material is both pedagogically sound and practically useful.
As the project progresses, these resources will be tested, validated, and shared with stakeholders across the education and training landscape—with the goal of promoting large-scale uptake and long-term sustainability.
AI VET is more than a training project—it is a shared European response to a shared European challenge. By empowering educators with the tools to navigate change, it also empowers learners to thrive in the digital future.
