Skills are a key factor in the economic development and prosperity of nations. Skills matching requires mechanisms, instruments and policies at national, regional and sectoral level that can reduce the gap between skills supply and demand in the labour market, increase the employability of the workforce and reduce skills shortages. Sectoral approaches look at changing skills needs from the perspective of particular sectors and ensure that skills development meets the needs of the sectors concerned. Helping enterprises find workers with the right skills, and ensuring that workers acquire the skills they need to find productive employment, is a key to opening the door to economic prosperity and building inclusive societies. Sectoral approaches strengthen good practices in skills development by emphasizing the skill-sets needed in different economic sectors, rather than taking a generic approach for skills development. They also provide an important platform for social dialogue on skills at the sectoral level. Moreover, adopting a sectoral approach to skills development enables countries and businesses to focus on developing the specific skills needed to maintain and improve their key economic sectors, making substantial contributions to improved productivity and competitiveness. To this end, the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO), in collaboration with the Skills Branch of the International Labour Organization, is proud to offer the first online edition of the Sectoral Approaches to Skills Development course. The course will capitalize on the long experience of the ITCILO in organizing capacity-building activities focused on sectoral skills development. It will be based on a unique learning approach harnessing digital e-learning technologies and using an interactive online platform that facilitates the learning process and provides participants with real-time feedback and support.

The Conference on Cooperative Higher Education (CORE conference) is the first conference on the application of a cooperative approach to higher education programs in Jordan. The central element of this approach is the joint organization of an entire program or a large part of it in close cooperation between an education institution and the respective industry, with students dividing their study between academic and work periods, closely coordinated to form a “work integrated” practical curriculum.
The CORE Conference will focus on Higher Education (undergraduate programs and Master programs) and provide comprehensive information on the principles of cooperative higher education, the commonalities with Dual TVET and a wealth of experience with key practical and theoretical issues towards quality assurance and management. Presentations and workshops will include experience from Europe, with a focus on Germany, regional experience such as from Palestine and first implementations in Jordan and also give an outlook on global developments and cooperation opportunities.
The conference will be conducted in the framework of the MOVE-HET project. MOVE-HET is a GIZ project supporting labor market oriented education, higher education and training.
Twenty years ago, the Copenhagen Process opened a new era for vocational and professional education and training. In July 2020, the European Commission launched the new skills agenda as a follow up to the original Skills Agenda of 2016. It defines 12 actions for upskilling (improving existing skills) and reskilling (training in new skills) for the coming five years. EfVET is always in the forefront not just to support initiatives taken by the EC but also to ensure that member states and in particular training providers in VET and CVET are kept au courant with these developments. In addition, EfVET supports training providers to reflect on the need to update, re-write and connect with key stakeholders to ensure that skills acquired at School, College or Applied University levels are industry driven.

Die internationale Berufsbildungszusammenarbeit (IBBZ) steht bei Kooperationsprojekten immer wieder vor der Schwierigkeit, die Anwesenheit zahlreicher Akteure zu bewältigen. Diese Akteure sind oft heterogen und haben unterschiedliche Funktionen und Privilegien. Finanzierungsfragen, die sich je nach Art der Akteure und je nach den von ihnen wahrgenommenen Aufgaben unterschiedlich stellen, verschärfen diese Herausforderung.
Wie sollen die Beziehungen zwischen diesen verschiedenen Akteuren gestaltet werden? Sollen Formen des Wettbewerbs gefördert werden, in der Annahme, dass dieser die Ergebnisse der Initiativen vor Ort verbessern kann? Sollte man stattdessen eine bessere Zusammenarbeit und Koordination zwischen den Akteuren fördern?

Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung und der technologische Wandel führen zur Frage, welche Kompetenzen Lernende und Arbeitnehmende erwerben sollen, damit sie auf rasch ändernde Anforderungen in der Arbeitswelt gut vorbereitet sind. In Umfragen betonen Fachleute, dass künftig nebst fachlichen und IT- bezogenen Kompetenzen vermehrt transversale Kompetenzen wie Problemlösen, Kommunikation, Zusammenarbeit oder Kundenorientierung benötigt werden. Neu ist dies nicht. Bereits in den 1970er-Jahren wurde die Vermittlung von berufs- und funktionsübergreifenden Schlüsselqualifikationen gefordert, um die Anpassung an den steten Wandel der Arbeitswelt zu ermöglichen. Warum ist das Thema in aller Munde? Was bedeutet dies für die Berufsbildung und die internationale Zusammenarbeit? Und wie lassen sich transversale Kompetenzen auf der Ebene der Umsetzung tatsächlich fördern? Diese und andere Fragen möchten wir an unserer Jahreskonferenz gerne mit Ihnen diskutieren.
The conference will provide an opportunity for policy-makers, stakeholders, experts and researchers to discuss the final findings of the future of vocational education and training (VET) project.
Die Digitalisierung beeinflusst längst alle Lebensbereiche unserer Gesellschaft. Sie prägt unseren Alltag, unsere Kommunikation, unsere Arbeit. Sie verändert Berufsbilder, die Art des Arbeitens, Anforderungen an Betriebe und Beschäftigte, die Ausbildung – und damit auch die Berufliche Orientierung. Diese nimmt neue, durch den digitalen Wandel hervorgebrachte Inhalte aus der Arbeitswelt auf und integriert sie in ihre Konzepte.
Als Förderer der Digitalisierung verfolgt das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung mit dieser Tagung das Anliegen, aktive Impulse für die digitale Weiterentwicklung seines Erfolgsprogramms zu setzen. Freuen Sie sich auf ein anspruchsvolles, hochkarätiges und unterhaltsames Programm, das die Brücke zwischen modernen digitalen Elementen und persönlichem Austausch schlägt!
The main aim of the conference is to discuss with the European policy and expert community, social partners and a wider group of stakeholders and participants the main findings of Cedefop’s 2nd ESJS focused on digitalisation and skill mismatches in Europe.
