  • improve coordination and ergonomic kinesic behaviour
  • promote knowledge of the security and risks in the working environment

Implementation

The external evaluation will support the project team threefold:

  • guidance for the project team
  • evaluation of the project implementation process
  • evaluation of the results

The external evaluation supports the project team in the specification of the project aims and the reflection to the project implementation. It monitors the project implementation process in order to optimize implementation and secure the achievement of objectives. The activities will be reviewed with regard to their achievements and effectiveness and the project activities will be monitored.

There will be a kick-off workshop and regular workshops with the project team. Furthermore, a before-after survey with the apprentices, qualitative peer-interviews by apprentices themselves, focus groups with school staff and a survey on trainings will be conducted.
