The project was developed to address the challenges of vocational education for future military candidates, adapting it to the modern labor market demands and defense requirements. In Poland and Romania, current training systems do not fully prepare young people for professional realities in the military sector, as evidenced by research findings and the low number of graduates from military-oriented classes pursuing a military career. The project's goal was to enhance the quality of education by creating an innovative course program titled 'Become a Soldier.' The project implementation addressed the following needs: Adapting and expanding the educational offer with a new vocational training program for youth, Supporting the development of specific skills in the target group, Enhancing the quality and capacity of the partners involved, Aligning vocational skills with the expectations of military service, Filling gaps in the current vocational education system, Introducing new content and teaching techniques. Based on our conducted analysis, we identified the need to create a universal and engaging vocational course program that would fill a significant gap in youth education related to defense, including the preparation of future.

We carried out the following activities: 1. Kick-off meeting and workshops for staff – a visit to Romania consisting of three components: - A working meeting, - A study visit for Polish partners, - Workshops for the staff of partner organizations. 2. Virtual meeting sessions, during which we worked on the content of the 'Become a Soldier' course and recommendations for vocational education for youth in the field of defense. 3. Study visit to Poland, during which we developed scenarios for four demonstration lessons along with accompanying worksheets. We then conducted demonstration lessons for 30 students from a military-oriented technical school. 4. Development of the 'Become a Soldier' course, which was carried out in several stages and had a hybrid format, combining remote work, online team collaboration, and on-site work during a working visit to Romania. 5. Testing the developed course with students in Poland during extracurricular activities led by representatives of special forces. 6. Dissemination event in Poland, consisting of two parts: - A conference where we presented the project outcomes and open educational resources, - Practical workshops for military-oriented students from ZS in Piła, based on the developed course

The results of our project are as follows: 1. A new 'Become a Soldier' course program implemented on an e-learning platform (1 unit). 2. A 45-page script (1 unit). 3. Knowledge assessment tests (5 units). 4. Educational videos (8 units). 5. Interactive multimedia exercises (6 units). 6. An e-learning vocational course consisting of five modules, each with a minimum duration of 12 hours, plus an exam. The total duration of the course is 62 hours. Upon passing the exam, the system generates a completion certificate for the participant. 7. A recommendation for military vocational education organizers (Ministry of National Defense and school authorities) to conduct military training in secondary schools based on the program developed within the project (1 unit). 8. A dissemination event (1 unit). Thanks to the achieved results, we accomplished the following: Addressed shared needs and priorities, - Enhanced the competencies of vocational education teachers and students in military preparation, - Developed new methods for educating students in military-oriented profiles, - Included three new participants in the Erasmus+ program, - Increased the capacity of international partners.
