EU Skills and Talent Mobility Package: reco­gnizing voca­tio­nal qualifications

ETF webinar

Veranstalter: European Training Foundation (ETF)

This webinar is about reco­gni­ti­on of voca­tio­nal qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons inter­na­tio­nal­ly, between EU and non-EU countries.

While effective and fair reco­gni­ti­on is always important, there is an urgency in the current climate to adopt measures faci­li­ta­ting mobility. In response to skills needs, there is growing labour migration to Europe and incre­a­sing circular migration back to non-EU countries. The EU responded with the Skills and Talent Mobility package in November 2023, including the Talent Partnerships between EU and non-EU countries and legal acts on recognition.

ETF, whose remit is to advise the EU’s partners on reform of their voca­tio­nal education and training systems, is coope­ra­ting with EU and non-EU countries in improving reco­gni­ti­on systems to faci­li­ta­te labour and learner mobility.

At this webinar, ETF shares the results and recom­men­da­ti­ons of our new study, which addresses reco­gni­ti­on processes, tools, systems and data needs.

7th Crossing Boundaries Conference

Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

VETNET

Topics:

  • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
  • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
  • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
  • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
  • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?
