Review and renewal of qualifications

Research report from the Cedefop project "Comparing VET qualifcations" discusses how this can be supported through the analysis and comparison of learning outcomes.

The aim of this recently published study is to con­tri­bu­te to streng­thening the quality and relevance of qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons and com­ple­ting the feedback loop between education and the labour market. It focuses on the dialogue between VET and labour market actors, looks at existing methods for analysing and comparing the content and profile of VET pro­gram­mes and qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons, and shows how these can be further developed. Monika Auzinger, Mariya Dzhengozova, Stefan Humpl and Karin Luomi-Messerer are part of the research team.
