PRIORITY OF THIS PERIOD - ORGANISING ROUNDTABLES

 
 

According to the Application Form, during this period, partners organize relevant stakeholder meetings and draft the strategies and policy recommendations. These national strategies and policy recommendations are discussed at high –level policy roundtables ensuring later endorsement.  

These roundtables are organized preferably by national public institutions.

The success of these roundtables depend largely on their professional preparation.

Policy recommendation papers, draft proposals, and other key documents should be available for the participants in due time for enabling them to conduct in-house or expert discussions and to ensure necessary mandate for an effective preparation.

Policy roundtables end-up in ceremonial launching of pledges by related national policy makers (at least one per country), paving the way towards an effective and systematic modernization of national VET systems ( i.e. launching smaller or bigger modifications in legislation, incorporation of new elements of WBL VET in local vocational education.) These pledges could be the first actions listed in strategy documents or revising, adding new pledges to existing ones
