SELFIE for work-based learning (WBL) was developed and piloted from 2018 to 2021, and it is the product of extensive collaboration between a range of different European Commission agencies and TVET stakeholders including schools, companies, social partners, TVET providers associations and chambers of commerce. In total, some 35,000 participants from around 150 VET schools and 250 companies in France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Montenegro, Poland, Republic of Serbia, Romania and Turkey were involved in the piloting.

SELFIE WBL supports the EU’s mission to develop policies that help empower citizens with the skills they need, including digital competencies. It is part of the broader SELFIE tool which focuses on assisting schools to self-reflect on how to improve their use of technology for teaching and learning. It is an adaptation of the original SELFIE to the specific requirements of WBL provision in TVET schools.
