IVET graduates ‘OnTrack’

The main objective of the project is to first tho­rough­ly analyse the context and needs of each project country and on this basis to develop a tracking system at institute level which can later be inte­gra­ted into the quality assurance system of the VET provider.

The tracking system aims to collect qua­li­ta­ti­ve and quan­ti­ta­ti­ve data from VET graduates relating to further training, employment, career paths, labour market relevant skills and com­pe­ten­ces, etc. This should enable feedback on the quality assurance systems of the training providers and con­tri­bu­te to the further design of VET pro­gram­mes and planning, imple­men­ta­ti­on and design of learning processes. The data collected should also be of assi­stance in voca­tio­nal coun­sel­ling, in sup­port­ing voca­tio­nal training par­ti­ci­pan­ts or in net­wor­king with the labour market. In addition, voca­tio­nal training providers are to be supported in estab­li­shing the tracking mechanism.

The project started in November 2018 and will end in October 2020. 3s  plays a major role in the deve­lo­p­ment of the theo­re­ti­cal framework of the follow-up system and will support the process with its many years of expertise in the field of eva­lua­ti­on and quality assurance.

The project coor­di­na­ti­on is managed by the Technical University of Kosice (TUKE) from Slovakia, the other project partners are:  NAVET(Bulgaria), IDEC (Greece), IEK DELTA (Greece), Eurofortis (Latvia), Astra (Slovakia), Politeknika Ikastegia Txorierri (Spain), Intercollege (Cyprus), and 3s (Austria).
