Underneath are further information on:
The EC Communication on “Rethinking Education: Investing in Skills for Better socio-economic outcomes” highlights significant discrepancies between countries across Europe in their development of VET and PHE.
The objectives of this project are to:
- encourage institutions of professional HE to analyse their internal policies for cooperation between education, research and business
- implement improvements and reforms to policies and practices as regards cooperation with the world of work
- support the sharing of best practices with respect to interventions for strengthening the knowledge triangle
- design a set of supporting tools, in particular framework policies and/or implementation guides, to strengthen active cooperation between HEIs and partners from outside academia
The project involves policy- and decision- makers from within institutions of Professional Higher Education, who will collaborate within the structures set up by their national associations for PHE, who are members of the consortium. Through their participation in the project, each of these institutions will analyse their overall connection with the world of work, formulate improvements with the help of best practice in the field and mainstream these practices into institutional strategy.
The main outputs of the project will be:
- Self-Assessment Reports produced by institutions, describing the extent and quality of their connections with the world of work
- Implementation Plans describing proposed improvements to policies and strategies to better cooperate with the world of work created and endorsed
- A Peer-Learning Event bringing together representatives from Institutions around Europe
- 70 best-practice cases collected and published, with at least 5 cases published under each HAPHE-criterion
- A set of supporting tools for PHE-business cooperation, in particular, framework policies, published as a best-practice implementation guide for Higher Education institutions
