EURASHE is a partner in the BEEHiVES project on Boosting European Exchange on Higher VET and Employer Involvement in Education Structures.
Underneath are further information on:
The BEEHiVES project is designed to address cooperation and collaboration barriers in the strategic partnership triangle – HVET/PHE institutions, employers/labour markets and students – to contribute to the development of skills relevant to labour market needs and equip students with the knowledge and skills relevant for their long-term employability, entrepreneurship and personal development. The project reflects developments within the EHEA and will make a significant contribution to the Modernisation Agenda.
The project will use a Peer Learning methodology, successfully applied in the Expando project and commended as “a pathfinder initiative, both in terms of peer learning and the social dimension” (Brian Cox, Co-Chair of the BFUG Working Group on the Social Dimension and Lifelong Learning).
It will bring together representatives of the strategic partnership triangle to exchange and apply innovative practices and deliver recommendations for improving employer involvement in HVET.
BEEHiVES project partners will identify and explore how HVET is organised, run and regulated in their countries/regions – both in PHE and the VET sectors – and specifically how the labour market relevance of HVET can be improved.
BEEHiVES will create tools and measures that will create a fundamental step-change in terms of employer involvement in programme and curriculum design, validation, accreditation and award processes – placing employers and the needs of the labour market at the centre of the education offer. All results will be collected in a web-based “Strategy Matrix Toolbox” that will ensure the three apexes of the strategic triangle are able to work more productively, improve student retention and increase employability post-graduation.
