The CDC consist of a document analysing and describing the most relevant cutting-edge theoretical fundamentals and relevant pedagogical approaches to support VET educators and in-company trainers to set up apprenticeship programmes creating new Work-Based Learning opportunities to foster the implementation of the SDGs in SMEs through digital tools and project-based learning to provide VET students with knowledge on sustainable practices and skills highly demanded and needed by SMEs.
The theoretical fundamentals are rules, principles, or theories on which non-conventional teaching-learning methods and resources able to produce specific cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral learning outcomes that will enable this working force of the future to deal with the challenges of each SDG in their working environments and personal lives, and, therefore, supporting their achievement by 2030.
The pedagogical approaches are methods and resources that VET educators and in-company trainers can apply to address the lack of motivation and interest of learners in standard pedagogical methodologies that fail to engage them. For example, through Project-Based Learning, developing cross-cutting sustainability competences in VET students, so that they become familiar with the SDGs through gamification and can choose their preferred sustainable area to develop a project applied to their field of work.
