Explanation of the quality indicator "Special training for trainers"

VET teachers and work-based mentors require intercultural competence to support learners and apprentices across origins and cultural backgrounds. This competence is especially important when working with refugees. To foster intercultural competence and sensitivity, teachers need professional development in the domain of intercultural education, for example, through formal training in diversity, intercultural pedagogy and language training. Through such intercultural training, they should gain an understanding of ethnic diversity as an educational resource and develop a perspective viewing learners’ cultural backgrounds and intercultural groups as resources, not hindrances to learning.
