About the VECO Project

Beliefs

The VECO project is built around the following beliefs and is related to the people who are involved in the delivery of workplace learning programs and the programs themselves.

• Workplace Learning Coordinators and those people who have a role in managing students' learning both at school and in the workplace, form a community who have a need to communicate, collaborate and share.
  
• The use of the Internet and communications technologies allows coordinators to build relationships and develop communities that can serve their professional needs, the needs of those they work with, and the needs of their students.
  
• The use of email and World Wide Web tools supports coordinators in identifying and building their own communities including the broader industry communities in which they operate. Through these communities, coordinators will develop projects and resources which will support their own learning thereby providing improved opportunities for students.
  
• Workplace Learning Coordinators need support in implementing the use of the Internet and communications technologies in their professional activities and programs.
