Conference Themes
- Vocational Education and Training - a contribution towards poverty
reduction?
The Millenium Goals and the Programme 2015 call for a substantial reduction
of global poverty. How can VET contribute to achieve these goals and
what has been achieved so far?
- Challenges for VET in a greater Europe.
From May 1, 2004 the European Union has ten more member states. What
are the implications for VET? Which are the concepts the new member
states require to develop their VET systems? What are the problems in
countries which are not yet members of the EU? Achieving the 'Copenhagen
Declaration' on enhanced cooperation.
- 3. Lifelong Learning and the Knowledge Economy - Implications
for VET.
Lifelong learning is an approach to comprehensive Human Resource Development
that can help countries deal with the changing demands of the workforce
including the knowledge economy. The EU, the World Bank, the OECD and
many countries are examining their entire formal and non-formal education
and training systems to see how they can be molded into a lifelong learning
system
- Career Development - the linkages with Vocational Education and
Training.
Career Development is being regarded as a process of (a) encouraging
social inclusion, (b) improving the effectiveness and efficiency of
education and training, and (c) an essential element of democratic societies
by being sure that individuals have full information about themselves
and the labor market.
