• trainers guidance and learning role empowerment, by adopting new pedagogical models based on: self-evaluation, customized learning models, digital portfolio and technology enhanced environments;
• school and IVET responsiveness, by implementing stronger link between education and job market and leveraging on the competencies’ recognition within the digital portfolio frame.

Project goals were achieved by:

• carrying out a transnational need analysis on models, practices and experiences;
• adapting existing tools and developing innovative ones, as well as strategies and resources on the basis of the main scenario findings;
• defining the overall SAVE model in terms of web enhanced solutions supporting customized learning models and guidance strategies based on self-awarded, motivated and active processes.
• developing ad hoc resources and tools for both youngsters (self evaluation tool, digital portfolio, etc.) and trainers (trainers guidelines and handbook, learning resources);
• validating and fine-tuning SAVE system and its resources within 11 Italian centres and in each partner country. (piloting action)

Around 300 youngsters and 133 trainers were involved in the piloting actions, whose evaluation represented the basis for the Recommendations addressing contemporarily three levels: education and training system, professionals and youngsters.
