The project's target groups are: VET learners and VET teachers/trainers and, indirectly, VET Centres.
Indeed, the objective of MET-VET is to contribute to trainers’ professional development on
environmental protection so that they could help VET learners develop a reflective and forward-
thinking green mindset through metacognition.

MET-VET supports the greening process and wider European environmental and sustainability targets
and objectives by developing an innovative set of tools which support environmental awareness
through a broader metacognitive knowledge and skill among VET learners, and their educators to
support the role of VET centres as hugely influential educators as Europe embarks on a digital and
environmental shift. The MET-VET project has met the needs of the target groups through the four
innovative, targeted and cohesive results shown in the table below:
