Abstract
In Portugal, the demand for technology professionals is higher than the existing supply, with a tendency to worsen. This program aims to retrain a wide range of unemployed professionals, who have the potential to develop a career in the technological area. The program involves a training process of 3-6 months, to be taught in an educational institution, with the aim of preparing people to start a new profession in technical areas. Trainers at polytechnic institutes face a challenge related to defining the training actions to consider and the corresponding training contents. To achieve the main objective of this program, the chapter intends to demonstrate that the application of PBL can contribute to and facilitate the accelerated development of skills in technological and innovation areas. The aim is to help the trainers define the courses and choose the best strategy to evaluate the students' learning process. It is the intention to include (1) description of “UPSkills “program and PLB, (2) describe how to apply the PBL, and (3) present a course design proposal.
