Soft Skills Self-Reflection Instrument
The aim of the soft skills self-reflection instrument is to equip trainers in SMEs, providing mobility placements, with an instrument to self-identify themselves with regard to their work with VET learners and students.
The self-reflection instrument serves as a quality compass for the tutors to measure their level of preparedness to organize high quality mobility experience for VET students.
Upon completion of the soft skills self-assessment, the training mentors in SMEs companies, hosting mobilities, will automatically receive their score along with identified areas for upskilling.
