Innovative Qualifications Framework for Development of ECVET

The main objective of the project was to support VET in textile and furniture industries in partner countries involved. The ECVET system was chosen as a tool and its practical usage by matrices of knowledge, skills and competencies for 5 occupation - Cabinet maker, Upholsterer, Tailor, Textile manufacturer and Floorlayer.In detail we were focused on:1. Creation of the matrix of competenciesThere were developed based on the datasets of national qualification requirements in the form of matrices. Data are divided into three types of learning outcomes according to the European Qualification Framework (EQF). These are knowledge (what should I know), skills (how I should apply that) and competences (work habits, soft skills). 2. Practical solutions intended to facilitate the development of innovative practices in VETThanks to created matrices it is possible and also easier to find all important information about each qualification in just one chart. This solution supports the trends in education - mobility in EU, to study abroad, to gain the experience at entrepreneurs etc. Everyone who is looking for a job abroad (in occupations mentioned) or who can spend some time studying in foreign country, especially in the CZ, IE, DE, PL or RO, can find all they should know in advance. These datasets represented the first step towards common matrices for each qualification as an outcome of research and also as a database for e-learning applications. E-application have 2 types of tools - quizzes and interactive games.3. DisseminationThanks to the fact that research works were done very precisely and deeply, the high quality charts of requirements for mentioned occupation in all partner countries were created. With this product we were able to address national authorities and discuss with them the project aims, ECVET and its implementation into national frameworks. Deeper cooperation was established in CZ, DE and IE. 4. Provision of open information and supporting resourcesOpen webportal www.iqforecvet.info was created as a main tool to provide open information about ECVET.
