Description of activities carried out
A preparatory stage was implemented to look into the guidelines developed by Pixel how to use the virtual platform, and to review the templates for profiles of students, traineeship candidates, and companies which will provide traineeships. Assessment tools were studied, and 8 of them were chosen for uploading in the virtual platform. The virtual platform was tested by the LLU project team. A meeting with traineeship tutors was held to discuss arrangements concerning the registration of candidates for the virtual traineeship. Several meetings were conducted by traineeship tutors to inform groups of the traineeship candidates how to use the virtual platform.
On 22 October an article was prepared and published in the LLU portal on the virtual traineeship.
