Cedefop’s study visits open to Croatia, Turkey and Iceland
Year/Date: 11/02/2011
The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training, Cedefop, an EU agency, which promotes the development of vocational education and training (VET) within the European Union, will organise in 2011 study visits for officials, experts and other people involved in development of VET policies.
Apart from EU countries, nationals from Croatia, Iceland and Turkey, among ETF partner countries, are eligible to participate in Cedefop’s programme.
The study visits welcome all those responsible for the development of education and vocational training policies, including directors of education and vocational training establishments, guidance centres and validation and accreditation centres; teacher trainers; education and training inspectors; and representatives of employers associations and trade unions.
The first round of visits specifically addresses high-level policymakers responsible for education and training at national, regional and local level. The visits will focus on topics such as raising quality of VET in cooperation with employers and higher education, and the role of social partners in developing national qualifications frameworks.

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.
