DEVCO VET Staff Seminar: 24-28 February 2020, Brussels

From 24-28 February 2020, Unit B3 “Migration, Employment” will be delivering the “DEVCO Staff Seminar on Vocational Education and Training (VET)”.

The participants in this Seminar will have an opportunity to reflect on and discuss the main issues of VET Systems and its linkages to Labour Markets in transition and development country contexts, with particular attention to private public partnerships. The training should assist the participants in their future work through a better understanding of core elements of a VET system while raising awareness of the need to link VET to labour market developments in a given (partner) country, notably within sustainable growth and jobs programmes or linked to specific sector programmes such as digital.  The seminar intends to help colleagues identifying development priorities and opportunities to which VET can contribute formulating relevant and feasible proposals for an EU intervention.

The course content will tackle the following:

1. VET value chain: from labour market to provision; key concepts and building blocks including governance, finance and qualification frameworks
2. Understanding skills demand (anticipation and forecasting);
3. Private sector involvement and private public partnerships;
4. Social dialogue and social partnerships
5. Skills in the digital age
6. Skills and migration

The target audience for the Seminar is mainly EUD Programme Managers as well as HQ staff coming from DG DEVCO, DG NEAR, EEAS, EMPL, and EAC.

Registrations to this event are open on EU Learn.
