Cedefop, together with the Spanish Presidency of the Council, is organizing the 15th Cedefop Brussels Seminar as a physical event. These seminars, organized in cooperation with the rotating EU Presidencies, build on Cedefop’s research and address issues relevant to European debates on vocational education and training (VET) and employment.
In an increasingly dynamic European landscape, marked by a high degree of citizens’ mobility for learning and employment, the need for transparent qualifications is more important than ever. Recognizing the value of what people know and are able to do, whether acquired in formal or non-formal settings, is a fundamental step to ensure fair mobility and social integrations for learners and employees moving across Europe.
Drawing upon recent Cedefop projects in this area, the event will focus on discussing the main policy initiatives and developments from the past 20 years that have supported transparency of systems and qualifications. These efforts are considered key in enabling the comparison and recognition of VET qualifications and enhancing individual mobility across various sectors and countries for both learning and employment purposes.
What have been the key successes and what are the main challenges in making VET qualifications more transparent, comparable, and recognizable across sectors and countries? What additional steps are required to improve individual mobility?
