e-ManTRA
Equip EQF level 5 trainings for managers in the transport sector with inclusive teaching methods, tools and training material to ensure online and distance teaching and learning, continuous learner monitoring and the evaluation of learning outcomes (e-ManTRA).
The e-ManTRA project focuses on the Transport & Logistics (T&L) sector, which represents approx. 4% of the EU's gross national product and employs around 9 M people (~4.5% of EU employees). Its impact is substantial, as other sectors need an efficient T&L sector to develop. T&L is more than a question of mobility: it is a factor of competitiveness for the EU and will therefore play a significant role in the economic recovery overcoming the current crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
T&L trainings were strongly impacted by the sudden transition to 100% distance learning. In France, a Carif-Oref survey on training during lockdown shows that 75% of T&L training has been suspended, one of the highest rates. EQF level 5 training courses for transport managers have been particularly affected due to the significant lack of online resources. We concentrate on these trainings as it is crucial for the sector to ensure pedagogical continuity here: The transport manager has a central role in T&L companies through the organisation of transport, drivers and customer relations.
