Innovation
Progress and improvement
We live in an era where technological advances overtake us. The young people born in the new millennium are already in our classrooms.
We are constantly reviewing our lines of work and innovating our contents and the new ways of doing to give an answer to the needs of this changing society.
"We are constantly reviewing our lines of work and innovating our contents and the new ways of doing to give an answer to the needs of this changing society."
Call it applied innovation, open innovation, strategic, radical, urrats bat, incremental , disruptive, commercial, Tkgune, social innovation, cosmic, pedagogical innovation, methodological, technological, digital, cyberinnovation, Ethazi, innovation based on knowledge, innovation, competitive intelligence, knowledge management, ideas management…
In order to be able to carry out any of them, emotional innovation is essential as well as having an innovative spirit. At Miguel Altuna Lanbide Heziketa we're on it.
Challenge-based collaborative learning
The central element on which the whole learning model is based is collaborative learning based on challenges.
The approach of a problematic situation, its transformation into a challenge, as well as the whole process until a result is obtained, is structured on the basis of both the technical and specific competences of each cycle and those transversal competences which at this time have a strategic character, such as autonomy, involvement and communication.
The problem situations, in all cases, are posed to a class configured in teams, where the work process has to make it possible for the students to live the situation as a challenge; starting from there, they have to have the opportunity to generate the necessary knowledge that allows them to provide the best solutions.
"The work process must enable the students live the situation like a challenge and search the best solutions"

International projects
We believe that nowadays it is of the utmost importance to be up to date and to respond to the needs of pedagogical and industrial development. For this reason, some years ago we considered that going beyond our borders could be a great opportunity to open up new avenues for our concerns. At this moment we could say that it has been an interesting and very satisfactory experience.
We started this journey in 2008, with the first international project MAIATZ-SIMULFORM, and since then we have participated in many projects, in four of which we have played a coordinating role: COOP-PBL- IN VET, FEM FORGING, KNOW 3D TECH, Ebridge 2 VET Mobility, EntraiMo and DOST. In addition to these completed projects, we are currently working on two other international projects: Engender and VETriangle.
The added value that this experience has given us has been reflected in a better preparation of our teaching staff, which in turn translates into a better preparation of our students, and as a result of this, of course, the companies in the region with which we collaborate are directly benefited.
The results obtained lead us to have the firm disposition to continue working in this direction.

LCAMP
The LCAMP project aims to support and empower regional Advanced Manufacturing Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) to become more resilient, innovative and better equipped to train, upskill, and reskill young and adult students to successfully face the digital and green transitions.
Behind the LCAMP brand you will find from skills and competences development to their provision passing from development of learning pathways, microcredentials, active methodologic approaches articulation of services and innovation for SMES.
DIGITALVET
The COVID-19 outbreak has given distance learning major impetus. Nevertheless, vocational education requires application and interaction and must be conveyed in a structural way unique to each student.
LRTRO is a teaching method that detects how an individual learns with different learning activities as well as social learning exercises.
The digital training content will be based on a structural approach and LRTRO method. The interactive simulation environment supported by the experimental and applicable projects to be prepared with this project will support the student-centered learning process in distance learning. The aim is to prepare lesson for a course in "Smart Home Automation Systems" in the field of Electrical-Electronic Technology.
ADMIC
The ADMiC project aims to support colleges, across the EU, to adapt to new ways of digital working. This may require digital adaptations and/or enhancements. Partners will work together to produce a self-assessment tool for assessing approaches to create or optimize digital strategy, digital culture, resources and infrastructure required to accelerate the pace of digital transformation.
The team will develop joint curricula to upskill VET staff in the skills and competences required to accelerate digital transformation and also develop admic.eu, an open educational resource (OER) that will increase the accessibility to digital resources in the key areas of development required for this transformation.
The project will have a range of quantitative and qualitative measures to assess impact.
Collaborating entities
The Miguel Altuna Vocational Training Centre is fully integrated in the industrial network of the Alto Deba region, and offers, through training cycles, specialisation programmes and training for employment, including the degree of qualification and specialisation that each professional needs and that the world of work demands so much.
Thus, in order to guarantee social development and facilitate the employability of students, Miguel Altuna Lanbide Heziketa works together with companies and institutions, where it is worth highlighting the more than 385 collaboration agreements relating to innovation, technological and financing projects, cooperation for the validation of training, workplace training for students and those linked to theoretical-practical training. Also, training linked to technological innovations aimed at professionals and teachers. These agreements have been signed with both local and international companies, as well as with business groups or associations (among the international companies, agreements have been signed with an association of companies from Holland or with companies from Japan, USA and Mexico, among others).
These collaborative agreements have been the result of different evaluations and diagnoses, which have been carried out on different scales.
In addition to collaborating with companies, we collaborate with different business agents (Dept. of Industry of the Basque Government, Basque Agency for Development Cooperation, SPRI, Basque trade union organisations, LANBIDE Basque Employment Service, business organisations both in the Basque Autonomous Community and at national and international level -Confebask, Adegi, Sife, Asefi, ICFG-, etc.). ); and being a Training Centre, we work closely with several entities belonging to the educational system (Vocational Training Centres both in the Basque Autonomous Community and in the rest of Spain and Universities, TKNIKA -VET Applied Research and Innovation Centre of the Basque Country-, IVAC-EEI Basque Institute of Knowledge of VET, Erasmus +, etc.), and of course, with several associations in our immediate surroundings, such as the Alto Deba Association and the Bergara Town Council.
