VET, traditionally operating in a national context, is increasingly developing in response to European and global requirements. Cedefop has always supported the development of EU tools and principles and the cooperation between national VET systems to enable mobility of VET learners and candidates. Priority is given to the development and implementation of qualifications frameworks at nationalEuropean and regional levels.

The use of learning outcomes is increasingly influencing the design and delivery of vocational education and training (VET), focusing on what a learner is expected to know, be able to do, and understand at the end of a learning process. The shared focus on outcomes facilitates the dialogue between education and training and labour market actors, as well as across different education and training sub-systems. Similarly, the increased transparency offered by learning outcomes acts as an important reference point for several stakeholders: policy- makers, labour market actors and teachers, making it easier to analyse the match between skills demands and education and training provisions. The focus on learning outcomes allows for a more systematic analysis and comparison of the content and profile of qualifications, notably focusing on balancing general knowledge and occupation-specific skills against transversal skills and key competences. Cedefop’s work in this area, including the publication of guidance material, influences and supports the design of qualifications, curricula, and learning methods as well as assessment and validation.

Vocationally oriented education and training in Europe is changing in response to rapidly changing demands for skills and competences at work and in society. Our work on the future of VET in Europe combines a focus on institutional changes with a systematic analysis of VET-content developments. The work covers the 27 EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and the UK, and contributes to better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing European VET in the years ahead.

Qualifications – the certificates and diplomas awarded following formal education, training and learning – are vital in modern societies. They affect our ability to get a job, practise a profession, pursue lifelong learning and move between countries. New types of credentials  (including digital badges, micro-credentials-,and nano-credentials) are increasingly promoted as a new way of valuing learning, allowing individuals to collect and ‘stack’ learning experiences, at their own pace and throughout their life.

Hoe reageren onderwijsstelsels op de behoefte aan nieuwe vaardigheden? Hoe bereiden die stelsels zich voor op de toekomst?

Mensen ondersteunen en in staat stellen om hun volledige potentieel te ontplooien, de nieuwe vaardigheden te verwerven die zij nodig hebben op de arbeidsmarkt en in verschillende levensfasen, en een bijdrage te leveren aan economische groei en het welzijn van de samenleving.
