Alliance européenne pour l’apprentissage
L’Alliance européenne pour l’apprentissage (EAfA) constitue une plateforme unique qui rassemble des Etats et d'autres acteurs clés tels que des entreprises, les partenaires sociaux, des chambres de commerce, l’enseignement et la formation professionnelle (EFP), les régions, des représentants des jeunes ou des groupes de réflexion.
L'objectif commun est de renforcer la qualité, l'offre, l'image de l'apprentissage en Europe, et depuis peu, la mobilité des apprentis prend une place plus importante.
Par ailleurs, la première enquête en ligne auprès des parties prenantes a révélé l'importance croissante de la mobilité dans le cadre de l'apprentissage.
Cette Alliance a été lancée en juillet 2013 par une déclaration commune des Partenaires Sociaux européens (CES, BUSINESSEUROPE, UEAPME et CEEP), de la Commission européenne et de la présidence du Conseil de l’UE.

Bien que géré par la Commission, le succès de l’Alliance européenne pour l’apprentissage résulte de la mise en œuvre des engagements nationaux et de l’engagement des partenaires, notamment grâce à des engagements par les parties prenantes.

What is needed, he said, are stronger links between student learning and the workplace and stronger ties to measures of student learning, such as degree completion and pathways. More...
