Objective
OBJECTIVES
With the level of unemployment persistently high, paper qualifications are regarded as a refuge against unemployment, to the detriment of vocational experience. The skills of employees are, however, regarded as one of the keys to the success of companies, which are developing ever more effective skills assessment procedures. However, skills in themselves are still not validated. The project aims to establish a European mechanism for the validation of skills acquired through professional experience and thereby to facilitate the development of life-long training. This would make it possible to re-harmonise the link between initial training and professional training through recognition of periods of work.
ACTIVITIES
The analysis will be based on a study of existing comparative analyses on the validation of professional experience in the Member States of the project. It will monitor and analyse pilot projects under way in relation to the validation of vocational experience. It will conduct surveys in the field amongst the different players affected by the validation of vocational experience. Finally, it will lead to the formulation of action plans for the development of a European system of validating acquired skills, and eventually increase the attractiveness of vocational training, which is shorter and cheaper than gaining certificates.
RESULTS
- Publication of a report on the validation of acquired skills.
