SHORT NEWS

The benefit of a Vocational Education and Training (VET) system depends on the relevance of the competences trained. Thus, relevant competences must be identified and transposed into a functional curriculum.

Emanuel Wüthrich from the Swiss Federal University of Vocational Education and Training presents the "Situated VET" approach, a coherent and holistic process in curriculum development. The real work situation as reported from the respective professionals is the basis for the definition of a competence, for the curriculum and for training and assessment.

The DC dVET - Donor Committee for dual Vocational Education and Training launched the first DC dVET eLearning course on “Dual VET in Development Cooperation”.

This introductory course explains concepts and  principles of the central dimensions of the dual VET system – including identification of success factors, options for implementation, differentiation from other areas and conclusions for development cooperation. The contents are based on the work of the Donor Committee for Dual Vocational Education and Training, its mutual understanding and principles of the central dimensions of the dual VET system.

The event started with two speed dating rounds. On the occasion of these exchanges, the participants discussed the Theses on the changes in vocational education and training due to the pandemic, published in advance by FoBBIZ.

Both the insight into the work of the SERI Task Force Group and the report on the situation in Honduras were met with great interest. Most participants appreciated the mix of presentation and group discussions. The formation of small groups was well received, as it enabled professional exchange and networking.

100 Berufsbildende haben sich Gedanken gemacht, wie Jugendliche ihre Berufsidentität finden. Herzlichen Dank an die beiden Hauptrefenten Martin Schönbächler und Martin Amstutz (auf dem Foto).
