Based on requests from the social partners and the Centre for Accreditation and Quality Assurance, the ETF will extend the national activities of the Regional Qualifications project with a focus on the central coordination of the development of an National Qualifications Framework. The ETF will continue to provide ad hoc inputs to the EU Delegation in the framework of the on-going Sector Policy Support Programme for Employment and TVET reform. In addition and as a possible follow up of 2012 talks on skills and migration in the framework of the High level Task Force, the ETF could be expected to play a role on skill-related activities. This will be done in synergy with the above mentioned national and regional projects on qualifications.
