SKILLS@WORK    

WHY ARE WE DOING SKILLS@WORK?

Skills@Work is a twenty-country project that promotes internationalism within the vocational education and training sector across South East Europe (SEE) and the United Kingdom. At the heart of the project is the sharing of good practice and experience through a college partnership scheme to allow countries in SEE to develop industry-led occupational standards and curricula. The benefits of the project will be

skills development to support economic growth and a globally competitive Europe   
networks and long-term relationships to support the response of governments in SEE to the challenges of employability   
present the UK as a supportive partner in areas of enterprise, innovation and employment in SEE   
support the British Council’s vision for Europe – “Working together to build next generation Europe”   

WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH SKILLS@WORK?

Address long-term systemic challenges by aligning education and training provision with the needs of industry by engaging employers in the future of skills development   
A higher and more positive profile for the skills agenda   
Equip young people with relevant, transferable skills for employment in a global market   
Contribute to a culture of enterprise and innovation   
Support and develop European objectives for system reform   

HOW WILL WE ACHIEVE THIS?

Skills@Work will use roadshows, college partnerships and skills competitions to engage policy-makers, employers and leaders of industry, college managers, young entrepreneurs and technicians:   
Regional policy dialogue workshops in 2007 and 2008 focussing on: national qualifications and credit frameworks, occupational standards and curricula development & quality assurance   
Partnerships between UK and SEE colleages to work towards development in curriculum, quality assurance and the transfer of best practice and mobility exchanges. Our aim is to set up 12 long-term institutional partnerships in the region.   
Enterprise and Technology Award competitions which will encourage young people to use their skills in enterprising and innovative ways, ultimately increasing their employability and entrepreneurial flair.   

Watch the Skills@work video to learn more about the importance of bridging a gap between the needs of labour markets and the skills gained through vocational education systems. Experts from Europe and Asia stress the importance of engagement in this area and share their views on how it can be done.
