Quality Development and Quality Assurance with Labour Market Reference for the Vocational Education and Training System in the Metal Sector
The priority of the Leonardo pilot project is to ‘promote the quality of vocational education and training systems and practices’. The objective is to develop a European-level quality development framework (QER) and a procedure for implementing this QER in the metal sector.
The necessary contextual focus makes it essential, in the first phase of the project, to examine the introduction and use of quality management systems in vocational education and training institutions on a sector-specific basis (in the metal sector), by country (in the seven participating countries) and with regard to the relevant levels (macro, meso and micro levels). Seven country reports are being drawn up on the basis of sector analyses (macro level) and case studies (meso and micro levels). The approach of the Common Quality Assurance Framework (CQAF) is also taken into account here. The completed analysis forms the common basis for the project consortium’s work in the second phase. Building on this foundation, 28 design-oriented quality indicators/standards for assessing the quality of learning programmes in the metal sector will be developed, tested in vocational training institutions and optimised.
