Third annual ECVET Forum: The credit system comes of age

This year, Member States begin to implement the European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training. The system aims to allow all vocational students to have their learning recognised across the European Union. At the third annual forum, held on 31 May – 1 June in Brussels, Cedefop makes the case for setting up communities of practice in each country, to ensure smooth implementation and wide participation.
The forum is co-organised by the European Commission and Cedefop with the support of the ECVET network and involves 220 policy makers, training providers, and social partners. As the foremost gathering of all parties interested in the credit system, it will provide an opportunity to develop the ECVET community as a vivid space for exchange and innovation.
The forum will discuss the challenges related to ECVET implementation and reflect upon the the roles and resources of the system's stakeholders. The forum is expected to lead to a shared vision of how to consolidate and implement ECVET throughout Europe.
