ECVET
European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training The European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) aims to: make it easier and more attractive for people to move between different countries and learning environments in Europe make it simpler for people to get validation and recognition of work-related skills and knowledge gained in different systems and countries increase the compatibility between different VET systems across Europe improve the employability of VET graduates abroad, and enhance the confidence of employers that each VET qualifiation reflects specific skills and knowledge.
ECVET Highlights of 2019 During 2019 we maintained our focus on raising ECVET’s national profile as a tool for VET mobility projects. We hosted the 2019 National ECVET Meeting, disseminating ECVET updates. Interactive discussions took place around ongoing ECVET activities, the User Group, Future of Programme, ECVET National VET and Adult Education event and ECVET’s Work Plan. We also held a national ECVET conference ‘Mobility: The Inclusive Experience for Vocational Education and Training’. The event included ideas for using both ECVET and Léargas’ support to make mobility projects increasingly inclusive. SOLAS’s Roisin Doherty, National Director of Further Education and Training Inclusion, also informed the conference about developments in the upcoming Further Education and Training Strategy 2020-2024.
