On 25 - 27 November this year, the National Agency of Italy organised the TCA training: "Digital transformation in VET: towards concrete implementation through Erasmus+ projects" in the historically attractive city of Rome for vocational education and training (VET) teachers and trainers. LSIIDP was represented by project manager Sandija Zaļupe. These were valuable training sessions - new contacts were established, and this time specifically in the VET fiels, which will be useful for the development of future projects specifically in the VET sector.

After the international training, S.Zaļupe shared, "During the TCA training, I gained new knowledge about innovative practices that I had not previously used in project development. What surprised me the most, was how many tools were already available on various European Commission websites and platforms that I had not previously known about. Although all four priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme were nothing new to me, as they are an integral part of each project proposal, it was still interesting, how the training organizers had structured the seminar program by intertwining each of the three other priorities with the main priority of this seminar - digital transformation. I went to this training with an aim of establishing new partnerships. I was not disappointed, because I not only gained new contacts, but also practical knowledge that will be useful to me in the development of future projects. I am glad that this training brought the name of LSIIDP to the world, and we have already received the first offers of cooperation."
