EQAVET Peer Review in Germany

The second EQAVET peer review meeting took place in June at the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) in Bonn. Topic: Quality assurance and qualification of in-company trainers in Germany.

The importance of in-company training staff is growing in view of the ever faster deve­lo­p­ment of knowledge and inno­va­ti­on as well as the current trans­for­ma­ti­on issues (digi­ta­lizati­on, demo­gra­phics, hete­ro­gen­ei­ty and sus­taina­bi­li­ty) in the dual VET system, in the economy and in society.

For this reason, the topic of quality assurance and qua­li­fi­ca­ti­on of in-company training personnel was a central focus of the second German EQAVET Peer Review, organised by the German Reference Point for Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (DEQA-VET). Eight experts from five European countries (Greece, Austria, Portugal, Spain and the Czech Republic) took part in this peer review meeting to discuss the strengths and weak­ne­s­ses of the current qua­li­fi­ca­ti­on approach together with addi­tio­nal experts. The EQAVET peer review also provided an oppor­tu­ni­ty to reflect on how the qua­li­fi­ca­ti­on of company-based training personnel could be improved in light of current and future chal­lenges. Karin Luomi-Messerer supported this peer review meeting as a member of the EQAVET Secretariat.
