VET Teachers and trainers in Work-based learning (WBL) / Apprenticeship

Why this topic? Policy relevance

11

1. WBL/apprenticeships high on the policy/reform agenda:

EU MS rethink or introduce WBL/apprenticeship schemes in cooperation with all

relevant stakeholders (business, VET providers etc.)

2. Teachers and trainers are key players in:

• - increasing quality and attractiveness of training

• - higher relevance of learning outcomes

• - higher innovation and productivity in companies

Challenges for VET/WBL T&T

1. VET/WBL T&T – part of the bigger policy picture and of the policy agenda: VET reforms, LLL approach, regional development plans

Related themes: Governance frameworks, partnership approaches, enabling environment (legislation, financing)

2. Challenges for WP teaching: relevance, quality, attractiveness

Related themes:

• profiling and professionalisation

• cooperation mechanisms between VET providers and companies

• quality assurance

• systematic approach towards professional development (identify training needs, provide flexible and targeted training provision, assess competences), addressing:

(i) Constantly evolving demands for skills update and upgrade, LM relevance and job

creation

(ii) Call for innovation and excellence in VET

(iii) Dynamic social, technological and digital environment

(iv) New pedagogic paradigm: shift to LO; individualised teaching and facilitating networking and

autonomy

Employment and skills: validation of informal and non-formal learning

Policy context

The 2012 Recommendation on validation of non- formal and informal learning (VNIL)

o - Validation of non-formal and informal learning is about making visible and value the learning taking place outside formal education and training – at work, during leisure time and in voluntary activities.

• - The Recommendation invites members states to intensify work – and cooperation - in this area.

31

Priority theme 2

Date: in 12 pts

The 2012 Recommendation on validation of non-formal and informal learning

Member States agreed to put in place arrangements

for the validation of non-formal and informal

learning (VNFIL) experiences by 2018, enabling

individuals to obtain a qualification (or part of

it) on the basis of their validated experiences.

Priority theme 2

The follow up of the 2012 Recommendation

• Coordination by the European Commission, technical and conceptual support by Cedefop.

• Active involvement of member states and relevant stakeholders EQF Advisory Group

• Further development and implementation of two European supporting tools

– The European Inventory on validation of non-formal and informal learning

– The European Guidelines on validating non-formal and informal learning

Priority theme 2

• OUTPUTS

o 36 reports (covering

33 countries)

o 8 Thematic studies

o 2 case studies

o A survey of projects on validation

o A synthesis of main findings

o An executive summary

1. Early school leavers 2. Multi-level governance 3. Skills audits in the public sector 4. Validation methodologies

5. Guidance and counseling

6. Raising awareness 7. Competence assessment

in the private sector 8. Research themes

2014 European Inventory on validation

VNFIL

Priority theme 2

What is the Call Priority about ?

Identify, design and test assessment methods & tools for validating informal and non-formal learning, (in particular of transversal skills) across large scale pilots

Transversal skills such as leadership, entrepreneurship and risk taking; communication and collaboration; critical thinking; digital and media competency, which are often acquired through informal and non-formal learning

37

Priority theme 2

Aspects that can be considered :

- the process of validation of learning acquired through on-line courses and specially MOOCs and how countries plan to link these courses to the formal qualification systems

- the various stages in the recognition and validation process such as identification, documentation, assessment and certification;

- the outcomes of the validation process and what people do with the validation obtained

38

Priority theme 2

Priority theme 2

Aspects that can be considered :

• - increased connection between private and public validation initiatives: the validation occurring in private companies when recruiting or in career assessment are very weakly linked to public validation initiatives that tend to rely on the educational system or on public employment services

• - quality assurance of validation initiatives 40

Priority theme 2

Designing a policy experimentation

41

• The objective : which problem do we want to

solve ?

• The hypothesis : measure xyz should allow

to improve ...

• The beneficiaries : who should benefit from

the measure ?
