The Voc Talk Café is a place where vocational training (VT) educators are invited to chat live about teaching a trade in today's world. It's a collaboration between VT.PROCEDE, the Après-cours website, RÉCIT VT and local pedagogical consultants.
The meetings are designed to be a safe space to receive information and discuss issues, concerns and successes in the VT community. The sessions begin with a 15-minute informational presentation, continue with 40 minutes for discussion and exploration, and conclude with a 5-minute "Teaching with Technology Inspiration" capsule.
The sessions are structured to allow for accessibility and diversity, with only the information part of the session being recorded and made available on the Après-cours FP website.
