Workshop on comparing VET qualifications
English
Other sources
Experts from many international, regional and national agencies generously share their views, experiences and findings on skills, helping policy-makers among other stakeholders to understand the linkages between education, training and the world of work, and how to integrate skills into national development planning to promote employment and economic growth.
Access to training
Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.
This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.
The workshop will build on and explore the interim findings of the Cedefop project 'Comparing vocational education and training qualifications: towards a European Comparative methodology’.
Seeking to develop a robust and scalable methodology for comparing the content and profile of qualifications, the project seeks to strengthen the ability of national and international qualifications experts to learn from each other and on this basis be able to systematically improve the review and renewal of qualifications. The workshop will look into the conceptual challenges facing such a methodology as well as the technological opportunities currently emerging in this area. The workshop will gather international experts and researchers working on comparative methodologies from different angles.
