INclusive TrAIners is funded by the Erasmus+ KA2 programme – Cooperation Partnerships in the vocational education and training sector. The objective is to develop and test an entire ecosystem of resources (platform, virtual laboratory, AI tools database) to help trainers integrate Artificial Intelligence into their courses in an ethical, inclusive, and sustainable way.
Main Objectives
- Provide a common European framework of ethical AI competencies for CVET trainers.
- Develop an open training platform with modules available in self-paced mode.
- Create a Virtual Lab with 50 challenges and 15 simulation scenarios on bias, transparency, and fair use of AI.
- Publish a resource bank of tested generative AI tools catalogued according to inclusion criteria.
- Disseminate results through 5 multiplier events and a European virtual hackathon.
Expected Results
- INclusive TrAIners Open Training Platform (8 OER modules, 6 languages).
- Virtual Lab on Ethics & Diversity in AI (50 challenges, 15 simulated cases, 30 practical activities).
- Digital AI Resources Bank (cataloguing of 60+ AI tools with ethical guides).
- European Community of Practice of over 500 CVET trainers.

Why It Matters
The advent of AI is transforming the labour market and teaching practices: without ethical guidance, the risks of algorithmic discrimination and widening the digital divide are high. INclusive TrAIners places the trainer at the centre as a “human mediator” between technology and learners, ensuring that innovation always serves inclusion and social cohesion.
TARGET GROUP
CVET trainers, educators, and tutors working with adults, unemployed people, and vulnerable workers
Vocational training organisations, policy-makers, and research centres interested in the ethical use of AI
IMPACT
At the individual level, trainers will acquire digital and reflective skills on AI; institutions will be able to update their curricula and position themselves as European centres of excellence; learners will benefit from more personalised, equitable pathways that meet labour market needs.
RESOURCES AND TOOLS
- Open-source e-learning platform released under Creative Commons.
- Virtual Lab accessible from PC and tablet, no installation required.
- Continuously updated resource bank with filters for language, sector, and skill level.
- Guidelines translated into 6 languages for the ethical use of AI in selection, delivery, and evaluation processes.
