About the Webinar
Third session in the webinar series (following Webinar 1 on the role of organized business in co-governance and Webinar 2 on aggregating employer voices). This session focuses on how committees, working groups and sector skills bodies can be effectively designed and governed to steer dual vocational education and training (VET).
Key Topics
- Purpose and value of joint governance structures (sector skills councils, advisory boards, steering committees, working groups)
- Essential building blocks: mandate, membership, representation, decision-making rules, chairing, secretariat support, documentation and follow-up
- Approaches to joint decision-making (consensus, majority voting, advisory recommendations, delegated decisions) and handling conflicts of interest
- International case studies at different stages of institutional maturity
- Practical steps participants can take to strengthen or initiate governance structures in their own context
Format: Interactive poll, framing input, three case snapshots with clarifying questions, a moderated comparative panel discussion, a “Transfer to Georgia” reflection segment, and an evaluation poll.
Follow-up activity: A facilitated “Mini Governance Structure Review,” where participants assess an existing or planned committee in their own sector and identify concrete improvements
