PROJECT SUMMARY

The project aims to foster students’ employability by developing their relevant professional competencies and civic engagement through the comprehensive tutoring and mentoring (T&M) system at partner HEIs as a response to the labour market demands. The university T&M system will function on the base of an integrated set of methods, algorithms, and procedures enriched with the dedicated IT-platform, university organizational structures, trained staff, and active senior students. In complex, it will become an element of the sustainable educational process, that will develop and improve students’ hard and soft skills, as well as active engagement in civic life. 

 The project activities are focused on developing basic tutoring and mentoring schemes, installing T&M centers, developing teaching/learning materials and tools, training academic staff, students and mentors from industry, as well as cooperating between targeted HEIs through the internationalization of partners’ expertise, and strengthen their relations with the wider socio‐economic environment. 

The project conditionally is divided into five phases: 1) elaboration the methodology for the T&M system and establishing the T&M university centers; 2) development of tools for the T&M system: 3) training T&M staff, mentors, tutors, and faculty staff of partner HEIs: 4) piloting the T&M program at the regional level; 5) evaluation and dissemination of results. Additionally, project management and quality assurance will cover the whole project. 

Totally 4 sets of open educational resources will be developed: 1) a set of OES for HEI staff; 2) a set of teaching and learning materials for Mentors and Tutors; 3) a set of tutorial materials for Mentee and Tutee, and 4) a set of program support documents. The IT-platform will ensure the proper functioning of the T&M system, including application to the program, matching mechanisms for mentors, tutors, mentees, and tutees, as well as support and feedback tools.
