Objective
The Paint Tutors Up (PaintUp) project, launched on 2nd October 2017, is intended to reinforce the tutor's role in Work Based Learning, namely in the apprenticeship systems with the involvement of the sector stakeholders and a strong engagement of the companies.
The objective is to bring out, through a mapping of the tutor's role in different VET contexts, the common elements that could make a contribution to a painting, decorating and finishing sector approach, motivating VET providers, schools, companies and teachers, trainers and tutors to improve their skills, namely transversal skills, through a unit learning outcome qualification specifically addressed to the tutors. The tutor plays a crucial role in improving the employability of the trainees and apprentices. The quality of the tutor's training can increase the attractiveness of the sector for the young people boosting skills and employability.
