2 Geographical Mobility Mary is preparing a qualification in is own country She does a learning period in another country, based on clearly defined unit of LO She is positively assessed Her credit is recognised on return back and included in her qualification.

3 Geographical mobility - sectoral approach Cars, tools and equipment are similar in Europe industry Partner training centres define common units of learning outcomes Based on these units recognize mobility can be more easy – clarity over learning outcomes and assessment. Trust between partners Independent of in which partner centre the students studied, the unit can be recognised and included in the qualification

4 Lifelong learning In X sector, people have discontinued studies but they acquire skills that are useful for other professions in the field They can move from one sector to another They can increase the level inside a company or sector From different types of education Different level Different sectors

5 Levels of qualifications rising Labour force by qualification 2000-20 (millions) Source: Cedefop, 2012 - Overall in Europe, numbers of people with medium- and high-level qualifications will continue to rise, - Young people will have higher qualifications than the older workers who retire.

6 Learning all the time…in different contexts Formal - Courses/Vocational Education/Continuous Training ( on job/ e- learning…) Non-formal – Conferences/ Seminars/ Business visits/Study visits Informal - Colleagues/Peers/Google/Blogs/ COP/Professional articles/Customers/ Suppliers/ Newspapers, TV radio…

9 Perspectives For the VET System How to capitalize all the learning ? A need of openness, flexibility and transparency Does your VET system enables and are prepare to that process?

10 Perspectives For the individuals / enterprises / training providers Individuals ease the recognition of competences gained during mobilities and/ or non- formal and informal

11 Perspectives -Enterprises benefited from clearer profile of candidates during the recruitment and easier decision- making on how much additional in-company training is needed.

12 Perspectives Training Providers benefited from improved quality and attractiveness of their courses either due to increased international partnership and offered new ways of learning. Offering the experience of learning

13 ECVET ECVET promotes geographical and professional mobility support Transfer, Recognition and Accumulation. Helps to validate, recognize and accumulate work-related skills and knowledge acquired during a stay in another country or in different situations. These experiences contribute to qualifications.
