    Recognising Transversal Competences in VET

    MIC4VET Final Conference

    Organiser: EVTA Team

    Join the MIC4VET Final Conference “Recognising Transversal Competences in VET” to explore how micro-cre­den­ti­als can address skills gaps in an ever-evolving labour market. This Erasmus+ initia­ti­ve focuses on deve­lo­ping a common framework to recognize and validate trans­ver­sal skills, empowe­ring VET systems across Europe.

    Discover project outcomes, including a new pro­fes­sio­nal tutor profile and practical tools, engage with VET providers and poli­cy­ma­kers, and discuss the future of micro-cre­den­ti­als in lifelong learning and apprenticeships.

    Don’t miss the panel dis­cus­sion on inte­gra­ting micro-cre­den­ti­als into VET to enhance learner mobility, inclusion, and workforce readiness.

    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?
