The workshop will build on and explore the interim findings of 'Comparing vocational education and training qualifications: towards a European comparative methodology’, a project of the European Centre for the development of vocational training (CEDEFOP).
Seeking to develop a robust and scalable methodology for comparing the content and profile of qualifications, the project seeks to strengthen the ability of national and international qualifications experts to learn from each other and, on this basis, be able to systematically improve the review and renewal of qualifications.
The workshop will look into the conceptual challenges facing such a methodology, as well as the technological opportunities currently emerging in this area.
The workshop will gather international experts and researchers working on comparative methodologies from different angles.
