The learners from VET schools and EU labour market will develop an entrepreneurial attitude and way of thinking, which will allow them to find easier a place on the labour market (e.g. by starting their own business). The project intends to create and improve the entrepreneurial competencies of the staff in VET organizations involved in the project, to realize an exchange of good practices and to innovate the traditional entrepreneurial education, by making it more creative, transforming the business information in a didactic method itself, integrated in the curriculum. CIPFP Misericordia is developing the EUPA_NEXT project as partner. EUPA_NEXT is strongly connected with DECO project. EUPA_NEXT is a KA2 project for the development of a European/International qualification for administration personnel in four EQF levels. As such it contributes to the development of a European Area of skills and qualifications. Through EUPA_NEXT skills will be developed through training materials and online books that will respond to a qualification framework in each of the four EQF levels. Knowledge, skills and competences are assessed using assessment tools (one for each level). Therefore EUPA_NEXT promotes the VALIDATION of knowledge, skills and competences. Last but not least EUPA_NEXT works on INCREASING THE LABOUR MARKET RELEVANCE OF VET. Employers were taken into consideration when designing the qualification frameworks (this was done under a previous project EUPA). Employers are now an important stakeholder to be taken into consideration during the design of curricula and training materials. Website: cipfp-misericordia.org |
