Acknowledged additional qualification with collaborative cross boarder vocational education and training - ZQ GVA +
The rapidly increasing demand for high quality and supported mobility in the field of collaborative cross-border vocational education and training (GVA) in the previous ITP project "GVA / Crafts" shows how urgent SMEs favor the internationalization of education. A purely professional and national oriented vocational training is good. But only internationally trained professionals can follow up the internationalisation of the businesses community. However, it is not enough to offer high-quality mobility of varying duration to students. Necessary is a well-described qualification offer, internationally comparable outcomes with theoretical content and a nationally recognized qualification. On the one hand there is a need for this kind of qualification and the associated skills. On the other hand for aspiring professionals a qualification is only attractive, if it is recognized by regionally anchored organizations, and if it will be evaluated equally abroad (keyword: ECVET and EQF). The important thing is primarily to represent exactly these additional skills.Next to the "normal" GVA an additional qualification package will be created within this project. Planed is an additional variant of ZQ for international expertise, as an alternative to the "Europe assistant". Relative to the regulated additional qualification "Europe assistant in the crafts" with stays abroad from 3-15 weeks, which has been introduced in North Rhine-Westphalia already, the new and 2nd variant will offer long-term stays abroad of more than 4 months and covers a broader curriculum - working title "ZQ + GVA".The aim is to develop a mature additional qualification for high-potential graduate students in DE. The formulation of competence based learning outcomes and their description according to ECVET makes ZQ comparable ("transparency / recognition). The adaptation and testing of selected units will be performed in France in the course system of the partners, in the Netherlands in the classes of the ROC and in Norway on modules. The development of a career approach facilitates the classification of ZQ as a career move.In the second project focus the structures of GVA will be improved and expanded to more practical orientation, as to be able to supply a broad-established offer in future.
