Ten central conditions for success for further projects and corresponding goals can be derived from the project results. These conditions can result in disruptive factors if they are not observed, and in supportive factors if they are observed and implemented. They represent overarching results derived from the IKKE project (NN refers to the respective occupational profile; in the IKKE project it was that of the cook). For the corresponding project work, these central results should be addressed by all partners and ideally implemented.
1. Intensive involvement of the staff of the network partners in project planning and implementation (participatory approach).
2. intensive inclusion of all target groups (NN trainees, specialist trainees and people with disabilities) in project planning and implementation (participatory approach).
3. education and discussion rounds for the staff of all network partners.
4. involving potential companies in the project through discussions and visits.
5. recognised modularisation of the training and recognised partial qualifications (Quali-Bausteine).
6. Adaptation and optimisation of structural aspects such as technology, premises and WLAN expansion.
7. inclusive teaching adapted to individual skills and abilities through the use of special materials (accessibility) and personnel support.
8. involving all those involved in education (including all teachers) through appropriate training, especially on the topics of inclusion, technology and didactics.
9. reducing prejudices and fears among the staff and also among the trainees and employees through getting to know each other, workshops and mutual visits.
10. project work according to the motto “try and adapt if necessary” in order not to exclude certain methods or possibilities in advance.
The following recommendations for action can be derived from the central conditions for success:
- Promote motivation through:
self-organised learning
taking into account prior knowledge, providing different levels of difficulty
2. Supporting digitalisation by:
Informing participants about the dangers of the digital world
training all participants in technology and programmes
Establishing digital infrastructure (e.g. project partners, such as workshops, could also be equipped with tablets; tablets that can be taken home by participants → for more location- and time-independent learning)
3. Strengthen inclusive cooperation by:
Creating a feedback culture → learning how to deal with criticism
Strengthening a sense of community through NN workshops (or other workshops using cooperative learning), as positive interdependence that takes place in cooperative learning has a socially integrative effect (Borsch, 2018)
Train and use tutors/mentors as independent contact persons in case of experiences of exclusion.
