Measuring vocational competence: an international perspective
Wprn:
The International Symposium (24-25 May) aims to involve a selected number of ETF partner countries in the international discussions on competence measurement in VET and work-based learning. It furthermore aims to explore if state-of-the-art applied research and pilots on measurement of vocational competence (i.e. implemented in Germany, China and South-Africa) are applicable also to the context of partner countries. The Symposium is organised in co-operation with the International COMET Research Network and brings together experts and stakeholders in this area from more than 15 countries across the world.

Topics
Lifelong learning
Put simply, lifelong learning means that people can – and should have the opportunity to – learn throughout their lives.
Equality in education
Across the world, certain groups of people are still hard pressed to get the most out of their education and training system.
Education and business
Partnership between the worlds of work and education is a process that is set to become an integral part of how we go about developing education.
Employment
“Employment”: a better guidance contributes to broader economic and social well-being by easing the functioning of labour markets.
Skills recognition
Making qualifications transparent and easily readable, even across international frontiers, is a high priority for the ETF.
School and teacher development
Teachers are a critical factor in education reforms. The ETF takes therefore the role of schools and teachers seriously throughout its work.
Key competences
Focusing on key competences is one of the surest ways of keeping education and training relevant in a fast-changing environment.
VET Governance
Governance modes and models have a high correlation with the overall performance of education and training policies, influencing their strategic formulation and implementation.
