The development of the VocMat product was overseen by a Project Management Group that involved all the partners. Two sub-groups supported the management group. The first of these, the Research and Development Group, designed and created the VocMat Model, Modules and Curriculum and the Valorisation Group was responsible for disseminating information about the project and attracting interest from businesses and organisations into signing up for VocMat. This activity will continue to develop.
The development and delivery of the VocMat product included a number of activities that were critical to confirming the relevance and usefulness of VocMat. These were:
