Olivier – responsible for regional development and European issues – shares his feedback on the annual meeting in Brussels with the network EUproVET.
A special moment to discuss priorities for the future of vocational education and training in Europe
🔹 Micro-Credentials: A Springboard for Tomorrow’s Skills
The development of micro-credits was at the center of the discussions. These flexible certifications allow for the validation of specific skills and facilitate the inclusion and rapid adaptation of learners to the needs of the labor market. In a constantly changing world, these targeted training courses offer an agile and personalized response to support the upskilling of each individual.
🔹 Professional Excellence Centers: A Springboard for Innovation
Centres of professional excellence play a strategic role, offering ambitious perspectives for the development of advanced skills. Their capacity to link education, industries, and research not only fosters innovation but also a dynamic response to regional and global challenges.
🔹 Global Issues: A Responsible and Mobilized Europe
Beyond the economic aspects, it is essential not to neglect the social dimension of vocational education and training, which contribute to strengthening civil society, social cohesion and the sense of personal value. In a world marked by rising tensions, Europe has a duty to work for a strong, resilient and peace-oriented civil society. Inclusive and connected education is essential to build bridges and promote international cooperation.
This strong moment of sharing and collaboration shows that together, with common initiatives, Europe can move forward as a leader in skills, while asserting itself as a key player for a fair, strong and peaceful society.
